Blackberry Playbook Tablet Enters the Arena

Everyone knows Blackberry as the once leader in smart phones, that was before the iPhone came along and seriously challenged them to the crown. And now everyone seems to be offering a smart phone.
However for people who are serious about business on the go, the Blackberry cannot be beaten (yet), with most workers using a Blackberry of some shape or size.
Then Apple brought the iPhone out, closely followed by the iPad - the tablet pc that is seriously kicking butt. However Blackberry did not sit in the corner sucking its thumb, it is fighting back with a tablet pc aimed squarely at the workers in this world, not the players. The PlayBook.

Officially introduced to an eagerly waiting crowd at a recent developers' exhibition in San Francisco it is claimed the PlayBook was described as "the world's first professional tablet", incorporating flash, using Adobe's Flash software (something Apple's iPad does not support).

Unlike the iPad the PlayBook will not be tied into phone networks. Offering either a WiFi connection or through a wireless Bluetooth connection to a Blackberry. Something that will probably entice more business users as there is no tie in with other phone companies.

There are not many details about the PlayBook released just yet, but keep your eyes open over the coming weeks for more information on its release, facilities and of course - how much will it cost.
