- Hi guys, i have just placed an order for a Plybook 16gb online. Will be getting it in a couple of days time and am all excited.
I have received a lot of criticism in the last one week for choosing Playbook over Ipad2 or any other android tablet. But i have still gone ahead and bought one. Hope i am not let down. For 14k (270$) its specs are unmatched and that was a huge deciding factor for me.
I am not into gaming. I will be using it only for browsing and watching movies and videos. Hope i have made the right decision.03-20-12 03:25 AMLike 2 - You didn't state where the movies and videos will come from. If you have them already you should make sure they are compatible with the Playbook. There are many threads concerning this issue. Most likely they will play but if they are in the wrong format you could transcode them while you wait for your Playbooks arrival.03-20-12 06:01 AMLike 0
- You will enjoy the BlackBerry PlayBook for web surfing and watching movies and videos. Since you purchased the 16GB model you might consider either a Seagate GoFlex Satellite WiFi 500GB External Hard Drive or one of the streaming applications available in BlackBerry AppWorld that allows your desktop/notebook computer to act as a streaming media server for all your movies. By the way, you can watch many of the broadcast and cable television networks on the tablet as well. If you have an HDTV, buy a microHDMI cable to watch the movies on the HDTV as they are played on the tablet. Trust me after a few weeks with the BlackBerry PlayBook you will find yourself using it for more things.03-20-12 06:03 AMLike 2
- I have my Playbook since friday and everyday i love it more.
Its a great choice. And better if you have a blackberry phone. I received my blackberry 9810 torch 2 yesterday and used BRIDGE and its really cool. Better than i thought.
The IPAD is cool if you will use only at home.
Its too much big to take it with you out.And if you take it, you must have a 3G card inside, and pay for it, otherwise you�ll be limited using it on wi-fi zones only.
With playbook you use the Bridge app to connect it and use the internet everywhere, and its enough big to a tab, and small to your pocket.
i love my Playbook + 9810 phone.03-20-12 06:13 AMLike 0 -

Infact i came close to buying this a month ago but was forced to let it go. Now i finally made up my mind and bought one. IMO there is no tab at this price point with such good h/w specs.
I ll be getting the delivery tomorrow. On one hand i am excited while on the other i am rather anxious after all the criticism i have received.Chrisy likes this.03-20-12 10:39 AMLike 1
