As a blogger I need to have the latest and grestest phone, gadgets and electronics and recently I received the Blackberry Playbook 64gb tablet to add to my arsenal of goodies. So far I am pretty impressed with the overall performance of the Playbook and I find new features daily.
Here is a quick overview of some of the features that I really like:
- Ultra light and protable – weighs in at .09lbs and super thin with a 7″ LCD (1024 x 600)
- Storage options – comes in 16gb, 32gb abd 64gb
- Awesome camera – the front camra is 3mp and the rear camera is 5mp and has 1080p (HD) recording.
- Connectivity – Wifi, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB Micro
Since I have recieved the tablet a few things that I have used a lot and work very well are email, the web browser and documents to go. I have taken the Playbook with me when I have went places instead of my bulky laptop and it has worked awesome. The one thing I need to get over it that it only has Wifi for when I am on the go so you need to have a Wifi hotspot available in order to connect to the web or email but most of the time that doesn’t present a problem.
The Blackberry Playbook has a pretty good selcection of apps through Blackberry App World. I was able to find Facebook and Twitter and a few other apps that I was looking for. I am having a hard time finding games for the kids but I must admit I didn’t really spend more than 15 minutes searching so this part is still a work in progress.
The one thing that I don’t like about the Blackberry Playbook is there is no flash on the camera. I know most tablets do not offer this feature but I wish they did because this is something that I would love to have.
Overall, the Blackberry Playbook stacks up very nicely against other tablets as well as my laptop so if you are in the market for a new tablet take a look at the Blackberry Playbook.

So the iPad has been getting lots more use…not from me though. I’ve started researching more kid’s games and teaching apps so it has become more of a teaching tool for Shaun and Shae. I’m still panicked with them handling it even though we installed an Otterbox case a while ago. It’s been dropped, used as a coaster and been jostled inside bags and totes and we still have not issues. It’s probably time to relax since it has an Otterbox Defender Series case.
Otterbox might make the toughest, most durable protection available for iPads and other devices out there. Otterbox is the top provider for protection against everything for your phones, tablets and ereaders.
