Multimedia & Gaming
Marketed as the “fastest tablet ever” the BlackBerry PlayBook features a 1 GHz dual core processor, and 1GB RAM, pushing the device as a multimedia and gaming platform, including support for flash content via Flash 10.1 and supporting Adobe AIR applications.
Compact Size – Bulky Features
The PlayBook is an ultra thin and portable tablet, measuring only 10mm thick and weighing an airy 400g. The 7 inch display has a 1024 x 600 resolution, and the WSVGA screen will playback 1080p HD video. The BlackBerry Device comes with a HDMI port, has wireless capabilities via 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1, while the company intends to offer 3G and 4G versions of the slate in the future.
Video Conferencing
There’s video calling support via the built in Dual HD cameras, which features a 3MP camera on the front of the device and a 5MP rear facing camera sensor.
The BlackBerry PlayBook release date has been set for early 2011 in the U.S. and following international markets shortly thereafter by mid 2011. Although not officially confirmed, the PlayBook device is rumoured to be made in a 16GB and 32GB version.
