Meet the PlayBook Goes Global

Meet the PlayBook

Since the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet RIM has made a commitment to educating consumers, developers and enterprise executives on the power that the PlayBook brings. RIM took a global road trip and hosted “Meet the PlayBook” events where folks like you and I got to go 1 on 1 with the tablet in an attempt to get valuable insight on what exactly the PlayBook brings next to the competition.

Each event was designed to engage developers in the process of creating applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet using BlackBerry® WebWorks™ or alternate Adobe platforms, such as Adobe® Flex® or Adobe® AIR®.
