AP Review: BlackBerry PlayBook Strong, Well-Priced

 

There have been a lot of mixed reviews about the BlackBerry PlayBook, some favorable, some not so kind.  An Associated Press review by Rachel Metz is very positive towards the PlayBook, saying that the size is just right, the price is on the mark, and that the QNX software is “beautiful”.

Engadget is also saying some very nice thing about the PlayBook, despite hundreds of other reviews making negative noise about the small things, like native email:

Tim Stevens, Engadget: “Running the show is a dual-core, 1GHz TI OMAP processor that’s expertly massaged and manipulated by the QNX OS here. QNX is a decidedly efficient and bulletproof operating system that powers everything from jet fighters to, well, little black tablets.”

This is excellent news, considering that quite a few of the past reviews have considered the PlayBook an unfinished product.  Despite this, the AP review is great news for consumers looking at the PlayBook as their next tablet.
