Blackberry PlayBook Updates

[rajadeep]

At the present price I would say it is a much better buy than even a kindle... Especially if you have a BB phone too... I just wish they make the browser independent of the phone(if they havent done than already)... I just think the timing was a bit wrong for RIM... If they had announced this price in the 1st 2nd week of dec this would have been a very good holiday present & would have sold like hot cakes...Anyway its a nice thing that BB is offering the discount worldwide instead of just in the US...

So its been almost a day since I started using it. The UI is pretty smooth. Like the gestures way of functioning. True multi tasking. Browser is good , plays flash and all pretty smoothly. IBF is a bit slow for some reason. Lack of apps is a concern but hoping things change with android player in feb . but you canstill manage with just the way things are. camera is good with hd recording. email client also only in feb. also missing is a good video chat app like skype. but if you want to just browse casually and use it as a decent pmp its very good. the size is a bit smaller than i expected.

The odd thing I noticed is that the paid apps are priced at RS 37 for each dollar equivalent . Example an app at $1 in US is 37 here .$2 is 74 ,$3 is 111 and so on. Wondering if its a mistake in display or conversion or thats based on some taxes or some stuff.

The launch of Playbook was very premature. It was like launching a latest laptop with Windows 3.1 as its OS.

The upgrade looks promising indeed!
