Trying Playbook on BlackBerry BlackBerry 2011 Asian DEVCON

On the first day of the event BlackBerry 2011 Asian DEVCON I also had the opportunity to see and play the BlackBerry Playbook, which first appeared in the Asian region.

I divide it into 4 episodes where I try to own Playbook that are deliberately exhibited for attempted by participants at the 2011 Asian BlackBerry DEVCON this, and one is a demo video again given RIM to give an idea what can be done in the Playbook. As a note to display the game, it's not real but only demo games, accelerometer at the time exhibited Playbook yet available, but will be available, this demo to show the capabilities of the Playbook.

In addition, the Playbook will begin to be marketed in Q1 of this year for U.S. market and Q2 for other regions. Important issues about the battery, there is no official statement from RIM, including when I asked directly in a special session of the media, Francois Mahieu, Senior Director, Head of Asia-Pacific Product Management does not want to mention about the battery life detail for each activity, both for watch videos, games or a combination of multitasking that can run on Playbook. The reason is that there is no benchmark for test products is still in its early stages, so battery consumption is very varied, RIM still need to analyze.

However, from the session there is one participant who said that the batteries lasting 8 hours, but this still rumors, so we still can not find the battery power of Playbook.

For specifications Playbook, you can see it in detail to the official website Playbook on this link, but as an illustration, the following specifications and capabilities Playbook: multitasking, performance high for multimedia, out-of-the-box enterprise support (secure access to company), dual-core processor 1 GHz, 7-inch screen with 1024 x 600, 400g, 1 GB ram, two HD video camera, front camera 3 MP and rear 5 MP, less than half an inch thick, QNX technology (the most powerful tablet realiable user friendly OS), built-in support for Adobe Flash 10.1 and HTML 5, WiFi 802.11 b / g / n.

Impression My first was pretty fun, multitasking and size that fits the hands to make the process of typing quite fit, at least not too wide when we want to type with two hands (using two thumbs simultaneously), two useful camera for video conversations.

However, displacement by using the touch for me is quite confusing, at least there is some kind of touch that must be learned to move with the Playbook. But overall Playbook is promising if a little late to attend, because the competition is increasingly tight, but still interesting especially with prices reportedly ranging from under $ 500, stay affairs battery seems that we must wait, and of course applications will be available in stores application Playbook .
