The BlackBerry PlayBook Makes a Grand Entrance

If Stanley Kubrick were still alive today, he would have been moved to tears seeing one of his visions realized and become a culture of its own. In his widely-acclaimed film 2001: A Space Odyssey released as far back as 1968, its characters were portrayed using a wireless tablet device that greatly resembles the tablet computersof today.  This popular gadget didn't really take its roots from an award-winning sci-fi film but from a long history of massive technological evolution. As of today, there's a wide variety of the Tablet PC that comes in different sizes and with fine features.  In the midst of outstanding brands, a new player joins the race and it's from the experts at Research in Motion (RIM), the same people who brought you the BlackBerry smartphone series. Presenting the BlackBerry PlayBook – the latest addition to the long list of tablets in the market.

Released during the first half of 2011, the PlayBook is, in essence, a mobile device which matches up to the functions of the desktop computer. It is powered by the fresh-from-the-oven BlackBerry Tablet OS which is based on the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system which simply means that it is running on a high-speed operating system and hence, a guaranteed quality performance. With a 1 GHZ dual core processor and 1 GB RAM, the PlayBook can definitely get things done.

Touted as the world's first professional-grade tablet, developers particularly set its target market in the corporate world as its high-resolution, multi-touch 7-inch screen is suitable for business-related tasks such as document viewing, editing and sharing.

Your internet browsing experience has become more pleasant than ever with this tablet as it supports Adobe® Flash 10.2 and HTML5. Its multimedia feature is all powered up as well, with high-definition 1080p video recording and playback and two cameras; one is located on the front for real time video chat at 3 megapixels while the second is a 5-megapixel rear camera. And all these are compressed in a beautiful, lightweight design that measures half an inch in thickness and less than a pound in weight.

In true BlackBerry Style, the PlayBook offers the same perks from its excellent line of smartphones. You can still enjoy BBM and applications from the BlackBerry App World.

However, RIM's mission to bring the tablet computer to different heights is not yet over as they pledge to continue to enhance the PlayBook for their valued patrons.
