RIM BlackBerry PlayBook now available

RIM BlackBerry PlayBook now available
The RIM Blackberry PlayBook is now on sale in the U.S. and Canada, hitting stores with a mixed bag of critical reviews.

Selling for $499 for a 16GB/Wi-Fi model, RIM is hoping to break into the tablet market dominated by the Apple iPad.



The PlayBook features the standard 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM but its real differentiating factor is its Internet experience. The browser has support for Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR, and HMTL 5 and many reviews say it is the best browser on a tablet, ever.

Additionally, the PlayBook has a 7-inch screen, 1024x600 resolution, dual cameras, a microHDMI port and the BlackBerry App World, which has thousands of apps.

Models with 4G access will be available during the summer.

    I just used a demo unit at Best Buy and I have to see, that is one impressive tablet. Silky smooth UI and I was loving the gestures. Ordering a 32Gb version for sure.
