iPad 2 vs. BlackBerry PlayBook

On the eve of the start IPAD 2, RIM a version of the full functionality of the tablet press preview for the textbook, and he seems smart and very powerful. But their efforts are sufficient? E 'was certainly a strange night and good luck. On the eve of the launch of their Apple iPad 2 for servile masses, Research in Motion has invited a group of journalists, more precisely, to an almost complete version of the BlackBerry text book, your 7 "tablet, which are sure to be the subject of many recent compared to the offer be Apple's next year. 

In fact, it was a strange scene. RIM has his press conference in a lounge club, called "provocation" in the middle of Chelsea in New York, one block from the venue of the 14th Street retail Apple and Google in the office rather than east coast. It was as if every compressed energy was concentrated in one place at one time. The tension was so thick you could cut with a knife.
guarded Unlike other events where the script has been jealous, and we could only see detailed demonstrations (eg, a Developer Preview, I visited a few months before) we were allowed to manipulate and play with it for long periods. And this time the script was his new Navigator sports on Webkit, the previously missing from earlier versions of the SDK is based text book.
There is no doubt that the script is a very ingenious device. Light E 'is very well built with a solid and well built feel. E 'extremely fast - and I would say it is much faster than the current generation and IPAD XOOM Motorola. And 7 inches, it fits nicely in a jacket pocket or a small portfolio of ladies - something that can not do IPAD.
     Also, I must say I actually prefer the text book user interface for both honeycomb 4.2.x iOS Android - feel it is really smooth, high performance all this is difficult to quantify for me. You have to think really experience. Much of what I can not believe the game as the operating system QNX real-time microkernel with a very effective way that works extremely fast to be attributed to metal, with nearly 30 years of development behind the core operating system itself. While I think that RIM would be a lot on the line against a cell phone with QNX operating system from a large ecosystem of developers that the Google Android, of course, I understand bet strengthened their choice. QNX is designed purely bred for performance and reliability that has proven to be extremely demanding applications in the area since 1982. Yes, you read correctly - QNX has around longer than Linux. In terms of pure performance of the operating system, IOS 4.x I think, Android and 3 have their game, and then some achieved with the implementation of QNX textbook. The game plan multitasking user interface is very impressive - it is much easier and faster to navigate between tasks, and you can see all the running in the background while you run to move between applications. HP's recent statements that provides the user interface such as QNX WebOS textbook on their own 10 "touch pad to be this summer. I'm not sure I agree with HP that the user interface, a text book, "imitation" is, but I can see where you might have that impression. How WebOS uses a similar user interface paradigm textbook "paper" will allow you link between applications running with random movements in unit 7 "1024 x 600 capacitive touch screen that uses the same iPad Ultra-High made by Corning Gorilla glass. Mariners team of engineers that RIM Purchase Torch Mobile has built a phenomenal job with the browser real text book finished. It's fast, makes nice soft pages and responds to the multi-touch. Because Apple Safari browser on mobile iPad own, the book also uses a game system based on WebKit and is compatible with modern standards of HTML5, and HTML5 video, including the new CSS3 features. Font size and make it very difficult, and the browser uses the experience more fun. In relation to the real application, I have the power of Adobe AIR applications and observed native QNX C + +, each of which went very well and very fast. The Playbook uses a variant of Texas Instruments A9 "Cortex dual-core OMAP 4430 ARM SoC clocked at 1 GHz with 1 GB of RAM on board and an integrated GPU PowerVR SGX540 fast OpenGL 3D and video decoding and playback Full HD 1080p, and I saw movies to play. And yes, it has two HD cameras with 3 megapixels on the front and back of the 5-megapixel camera with an HDMI port for video output, as his cousins upper shelf Android. No one will be the performance or the quality of the construction of the text book will be disappointed. This is probably
