Mobility Digest goes BlackBerry Playbook Hands On
If you were wondering how the PlayBook looks and feels here is a quick hands-on of the PlayBook.
Pros:
- Nice, small size. Feels lightweight yet solidly built.
- Zippyness of the UI.
- Flash enabled.
Cons:
- Small App Catalog
- No native email client. Unheard of and unfathomable in this day and age.
- Insanely tiny power button. Both me and the store associate thought the power was drained because the button was so small and recessed that we kept missing the button.
- UI depends on unintuitive gestures. If you didn’t know the bezel was capacitive than you would literally have no idea how to get around.
- Price. I can’t understand why so many OEMs are charging so much for so limited a device. Without tons of apps and broad platform connectivity superiority it just feels limited in so many ways.

This is the most laziest review I ever read lol
Lol, trying to post while walking and dodging my supervisor isn’t easy. Risky business but it needed to be put up. Going forward I’ll have a solid format on reviews.
I like your review. I have had a play with the device as well, and to be honest I don’t think there’s alot more to say about it. Also, live flash 9 h264 video doesn’t work. Which was another minus.
Useless device.
I had a hands on with this useless device the day it cane out. Return to sender. This thing needs more time in the oven.
Scratch that. RIM just needs to go away.
