RIM (BlackBerry) PlayBook Review and Specifications

rim blackberry palybook review
Review:
RIM PlayBook size is more tiny than iPad.
The screen is clear with no reflections or glare (paper like quality),
The Battery Life was very impressive, when connected to Wi-Fi the entire time the battery life has not budget from 75% in the past 58 hours of testing.
This OS looks really swell, which is about all that I can say about it. I cannot for the life of me get the device to respond or do anything for that matter, it is stuck with the app switching screen being shown. In talking with someone who did not deny to me that they are a RIM executive (perhaps the CEO) said that it only works if you have a Blackberry and not a crappy iPhone. So it appears that RIM has done an impressive job of locking up the OS unless it detects that the owner also has a Blackberry — kudos to RIM on the feat.
