I had a Kindle Fire which was nice, but I found that this display & format better & the ablity to create & edit office files is better. My biggest dislike is the quality of the apps and lack there of. The apps on the Kindle & my Epic phone are plentiful & quality apps even the free ones. The Blackberry PlayBook 32g has good size/weight, good battery life, good value for the money if you don't have much use for apps, useable apps because 50% of the apps displayed in the search are unavailable. I still will recommend the BlackBerry PlayBook 32GB, Wi-Fi, 7in to a friend in hopes that an update is coming soon with android apps.
The reason I bought this tablet was because I wanted to experiment with the QNX operating system and I kid you not it is awesome! Apps are slow to load at the first go, but from then on onwards it blazes along on its dual-core 1Ghz processor. The file management system is a god send and a definite improvement over the Android tablets and iPads I have used. I love the size of the thing and if things go well it might just replace my MacBook Pro as my class gadget. However, the Playbook isn't as user friendly as it may seem with subtle quirks like its inability to charge when turned off and the fact that the BlackBerry App World is lagging heavily behind the competition in terms of number may put you off. But the fluidity of the OS, the ingenius usage of the bezels to enhance the users experience and the solid media playback capabilities means this beautiful product is going to stay close to my heart.Read full review
The reason that I bought this tablet is to have a mobile device that allow me to communicate with my family by Skype,I couldn't download the app,having hard time with that,I'm very disappointed.The app store has to be more develop.I have another tablet and the app was so easy to install.But I have to say that the size,weight and price are very reasonable. If you use it for browsing the Internet and email it's ok.
Bought before I got my IPad 4 navigating takes a little to get used to. I was able to install kindle app with some work. Since it has Kindle it has every thing I could want. It has a camera though the pics are a little grainy looking. Its very good for the price. I use it if I don't want a bulky 10 inch tablet. I recently ordered a Blackberry phone so I can bridge it free...You don't get that with Ipad. Overall its a good deal. If you don't have 500 bucks this is the next good thing.
It looks like I may have made a mistake in getting one of these. The features are great if you have a Blackberry Phone along with it. At this time I am not going to get one, so hopefully I will be able to sell it. I do miss my BBPhone and maybe someday will be able to get one. A business person may benefit more to having this combo. My thoughts are maybe a Samsung would have been better for me at this time. I would recommend this product to only BBP users. My concern with this one is that I cannot get wifi at other places besides my home. I have asked the experts and along with my son to ne avail.
