BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK

It looks and feels great and rather small cases, the size of 7.5 x 5 inches is not very much, because this setting allows compressed into a jacket pocket. But the phrase that best describes the BlackBerry playbook, which goes on sale Tuesday, is "good, but it could be, and be better."

There are many things you like now. The controls on the touch screen at once brilliant and intuitive work. The browser is very fast and, unlike the IPAD, playbook runs Adobe Flash software, so that most Web pages displayed as expected. The screen is bright, clear, sensitive and big enough to see a movie or play a game of action.
Price: $ 500 to $ 700, depending on the memory.
Features: excellent operating system, clear screen, forward and rear facing cameras.

There are some embedded applications, including a photo and video viewer, music player, camera and reader of books and a shop to buy and download music. There are also applications to access popular email sites (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.), Facebook and Twitter. Best of all, there are applications for creating and opening Microsoft Office documents.

But if you expect to find everything you want, you will be disappointed. None of the BlackBerry smartphone applications work on the tablet, and relatively few applications available.

For now, you can link to the network only via Wi-Fi, no 3G cellular. That limits where you can use the device, but the problem will be solved playbook 2. The biggest problem is that no program that automatically downloads email and displays phone contacts and calendar. For that you should "bind" the pill to their regular BlackBerry via Bluetooth. My bet: playbook two will fix it.

Meanwhile, corporate IT departments, leading BlackBerry customers will love, as the safety of the tablet and both have first-class smartphone.
