wow...that is impressive.
The UI seem like much smoother than Apple's AppStore. Podcast build-in is nice and well thought. Love podcast on BB |

Price and launch date is up!!
the pricing for RIM's first tablet at $499, $599, and $699, respectively, based on "hard drive", which seems like a novice way of saying 16GB, 32GB and 64GB configurations for the WiFi-only versions of the device.  Source: Crackberry |

QUOTE(hyperyouth_firepower @ Mar 23 2011, 10:46 AM) add the tax and customs, you do the math. Wifi version normally wont tie to Telco.The only probable to get a decent price is through Telco packages. Then again, it was strongly hinted that the Playbook won't be tied to Telcos. Maybe I will get it from Singapore if it is faster. |

Yes. Full Desktop like browser on Facebook. Now I am all exciting.. Hope they have a good twitter client. If the BT bridge is viable, then wifi version is enough. At least for my usage |

Hurray...Good new. Dont worry no more apps.
RIM opens up BlackBerry PlayBook to support Android apps by Jonathan S. Geller The news we reported exclusively many months ago has just been officially confirmed by RIM — the company will indeed support Google Android apps on its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and on new QNX-based BlackBerry smartphones moving forward. RIM is also offering a suite of tools for Android developers that will allow them to easily port their existing apps to the PlayBook for distribution through BlackBerry App World. RIM’s full press release is after the jump. RIM Expands Application Ecosystem for BlackBerry PlayBook · BlackBerry PlayBook to support BlackBerry Java and Android apps · Native C/C++ development support added, in addition to HTML5, Flash and AIR support · Support from leading game engines: Ideaworks Labs (AirPlay) and Unity Technologies (Unity 3) · BlackBerry PlayBook becomes a new market opportunity for all the developers who have already created over 25,000 BlackBerry Java apps and more than 200,000 Android apps.............. Source: BGR Added on March 25, 2011, 1:13 pm QUOTE(alieamin @ Mar 25 2011, 12:48 PM) if by that time i believe there plenty of tablets available  ur source definitely false.  playbook will be on sale at least may. 1 week later than singapore(roughly) If may I can still wait a little longer. Or else I will hoot from US of A what is the price like? This post has been edited by mikelanding: Mar 25 2011, 01:13 PM |

QUOTE(hazremi @ Mar 26 2011, 01:10 AM) is there any risk if we buy direct from US? the price is $499, after conversion around 1.5k only Better get from local set. Brightstar will bring in and their warranty offer is good. Min 18 monthsI did claim the warranty for my 9780 before they replace me with a total new set. QUOTE(alieamin @ Mar 26 2011, 01:36 AM) Fuyoo I am all time excited about Playbook. I dun really into a lot of app. What i need for tablet is a good twitter client, a desktop like browser, and email client. With a BB phone, playbook gain more feature like bt tethering, BBM and push email..Perfect. im impressed!!! will be adding more entertainment to playbook. For sure pawn ipad ifag will butthurt when saw this Im as a user dont listen or watch too much musics and movies, thus i dont think playbook will fulfill my requirement, but when i saw this news,im getting excited yo! |

QUOTE(samuraikacang @ Apr 1 2011, 12:40 PM) there you go. my sources are correct after all. Oh...if Indo, launch around May. Then I might get i from Indo. Frequent travel to there. 2-3 weeks per month. I was hoping he was wrong but he did said to me that the one who told him is RIM themselves. I heard Indonesia will get theirs by May so if it true I might just go there to get the playbook. cannot tahan :rage:  |

QUOTE(dicksonbell @ Apr 10 2011, 12:19 PM) Actually it's almost similar with Torch 2 just difference in size and it might support Android apps as well. Playbook is "almost similar" with Torch 2? U must be kidding or ill informed Awaiting confirmation from my associates in Canada for an actual unit to be deliver to me...  Torch 2 spec according to BGR: (I list on the Playbook spec in BOLD RED) 1.2GHz processor (Arm Cortex A9 Dual Core@1Ghz) Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE Tri-band HSPA 14.4Mbps 3.2-inch VGA 640 x 480 capacitive display (7", 1024 X 600) 8GB built-in memory (start from 16gb up to 64GB) 512MB RAM (1GB of RAM) Bluetooth 2.1 GPS NFC 5-megapixel camera with flash (3MP front and 5PM back) Magnetometer Accelerometer Proximity sensor 1300 mAh battery (5300mAh) BlackBerry OS 6.1 (Blackberry Table OS, QNX) OpenGL ES 14.6mm thin So from the above, still just difference in size like U mentioned ? |

QUOTE(hyperyouth_firepower @ Apr 11 2011, 05:27 PM) if voice call is possible, then video call can be programmed. However the issue is with RIM, because they aren't exactly a fan of "video call" because even when video call over 3g is a pretty developed technology, it isn't as fluid as many hoped it would be (and how it should be) when it comes to real-time performance, including the lags, pings, etc. Video cal already confirmed have in playbook.Probably a "facetime" clone. Or, just port skype over. kaw tim. Someone from crackberry forum who went to the Demo in LA few days ago wrote: "No sign of video chat or Skype preloaded - Reps said that RIM wasn't quite sure how they wanted Video Chat hosted - but did mention it will definitely be included in the BBM on the PB" link: Playbook demo in LA Anyway, I pre-order a 16gb Playbook from US. Hope to get it around early May. |
