Blackberry’s coveted Playbook tablet set for April release


I am not ashamed to admit it—when it comes to smartphones, I am TeamBlackberry through and through. Blackberry’s maker RIM  (Research in Motion) has recently gone through a lot of havoc trying to compete with Apple’s iPhone and the Android operating system, and many predict that the Canadian company will go by the wayside much the way Palm did. I, however, still love my Blackberry Bold 9700 despite the fact that it does have its issues from time-to-time. With the news that the Blackberry Playbook tablet will be released next month, many are wondering if this will save the company, or make RIM irrelevant amongst smartphones.

RIM has been reporting for several months that the Playbook tablet was ready for consumers, but only announced a true release date yesterday. Customers can now pre-order their Playbook tablet through Best Buy with a guaranteed delivery by date of 4/19. The device also hits stores on this date as well. The Playbook features a 7 inch screen, HD video and display, 4G speed, and is professional grade.

I have been wanting a tablet every since I took my trip to Atlanta a few weeks ago—my sister in travel LaKesha had a Motorola Xoom, which I fell in love with. I was actually thinking about purchasing a Samsung Galaxy tablet when news hit that the Playbook would finally be hitting the streets.

I am not a techie by any means, but I must have the Playbook. I am not ready to abandon my Blackberry yet, and the Playbook tablet looks like it will be a great companion to my Blackberry device.

What are your thoughts on RIM’s Blackberry 4G Playbook Tablet?

    That’s nice! I like it, like it a lot. I wonder how much that’s going to hit ya for? I don’t have much use for one….not at the moment. Since I haven’t done much blogging lately but I am Team Blackberry!

      Afreshmusic, I forgot to put how much it costs in the article. It starts at $499 and goes up from there w/ the purchase of more memory and features.

      Najeema, the iPad of course is king when it comes to tablets but I have a feeling that the Playbook will seduce us Team Blackberry fans. Thanks for commenting.

    I have been drooling over the new ipad 2 for a couple of weeks now. I haven’t had the opportunity to play w/any of these new gadgets and must admit the samsung was also winning my heart.
    I am an apple fan of everything but the iphone. With that being said, I too am team BLACKBERRY all the way. I’m in love w/my Blackberry Touch and with BB’s in general. Nothing can make me sway from bbm. Now that I see this new gadget is coming out, I will definitely refrain from buying an ipad and see what this has to offer 🙂

      Sandra, Blackberry has been given a lot of flack lately but I am a loyal fan and customer so I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Playbook.
