Playbook 64 is a dasappointment
Pros: Graphics are good. Battery life is good.
Cons: Compared to my Dell Streak 7 and Ipad 1, this is the worst tech investment I've made in 10 years. Swipes are marginal and glitchy. It doesn't interface well with cloud based reader purchases. Reviewers that suggest a powerful browser appear to have not expereinced IPad or Android tablet browsers that respond faster in side by side tests. BB apps are overpriced and limited. HDMI doesn't seem to interface with my TVs or monitors. None of these issues exist with my Andriod or Apple OS tablets. I was a Blackberry fan before the Storm 1 came out and purchased this based on positive reviews. Touch screen on this is worse than the storm one release. I'm wondering if RIM employees are spaming the reviews. My only hope is that there is an Android Honeycomb release to give this hardware a chance to meet its potential. Its about a half inch taller than the streak 7 and will not fit in a suit or sport coat breast pocket like the discontinued streak.
Overall Review: I'm not sure if this machine is worth $100 firesale prices unless an android release occurs. Shame on RIM. I expected more!
