BlackBerry Playbook

The iPad has yet another competitor with the release of the BlackBerry PlayBook. The BlackBerry PlayBook like the Samsung Galaxy Tab is more portable because it is not as bulky as the iPad. The PlayBook does have a big thing that the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone don't have which is flash support. It is surprising that the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone still don't have this and there was always talk that it was coming with the next update but it still hasn't came. The PlayBook also really advertises that with Blackberry Bridge you can really interact with your BlackBerry but iPad doesn't have these kinds of features. The iPad like any Wi-Fi device can join your phone's Wi-Fi network but you can't interact with your phone. BlackBerry advertises that by using BlackBerry Bridge you can get full email inbox functionality and you can also see all your contacts. I suppose the BlackBerry Playbook's demographics are different than the iPad; the BlackBerry Playbook demographic is more geared towards business people while the iPad isn't aimed at this demographic as much. The BlackBerry PlayBook is yet another competitor in the tablet computer market and there will surely be more competitors in the future.
