BlackBerry PlayBook vs. other Tablets

There are several major brands that have introduced tablet PCs within the past year or two. Within these similar product offerings, there are some clear front runners, one of those being the new BlackBerry PlayBook device. Here, we take a look at how the PlayBook stacks up against the competition and why it’s best bang for your buck.

It’s powerful.
With a 1GHz processor and a 10 hour battery life, the PlayBook is built to perform. This means plenty of uninterrupted work or play time while you’re on the road or out and about. The PlayBook is right in line with other competitors, but the fact that BlackBerry offers a rapid travel charger for a quick boost or a full charge in ½ the times gives the brand a one up. Now you can get back to browsing, gaming or working even quicker than before.

It’s lightweight.
At about 0.9 lbs. and 0.4” wide, the PlayBook device is one of the lightest on the market, making it ideal for working and playing on the go.

It runs Flash.
It’s hard to imagine a device that can’t run Flash. That’s why the PlayBook software includes built in support for Adobe Flash version 10.2, which means you can enjoy streaming video, Flash driven websites and games to in their full glory. No more roadblocks or unsupported error messages when browsing the web, which gives BlackBerry a big advantage over other tablet devices on the market.

It runs background apps.
Want to listen to music while downloading a video? Want to video chat while playing a game? The PlayBook lets you do both and so much more. Running multiple apps is no issue for the device and, you can even transfer the same apps you have on your BlackBerry smart phone to your new tablet. (Note: There is a wait for some apps, which BlackBerry is still in the process of migrating to the new device. For any questions regarding PlayBook apps support, the BlackBerry team is available to help.)

It comes with support.
Buy a different tablet device and you may be left scratching your head when it comes time to customize your interface, download updates, synch devices or organize information. With the PlayBook, BlackBerry is including 90 days of complimentary PlayBook support through an expert team of techies. Just go online to register your product, and you’re one direct call away from the answers. Plus, the company provides many other options for BlackBerry PlayBook support via online channels like forums, blogs and social sites such as YouTube and Twitter.
