Can BlackBerry PLAYBOOK compare to Apple's IPAD?





Blackberry soon releases its Playbook developed by (RIM) which will compete with Apple's Ipad and hopes to be the leading tablet computer. Both playbook and Ipad are similar so comparing the two products is inevitable.  As Ipad is the first to bring out the new product, customers usually warm and reward the original innovator and similar product ie the playbook might have a tough time getting notice by the consumers.  


So is blackberry playbook any better than apple's Ipad or just a clone?


At first glance, Play book looks like a clipboard, portable and light weight ; 7 inch screen makes it easy to carry and maneuver compared to the Ipad which is 9.56 inches.


In terms of performance and features, BlackBerry Playbook looks to be an absolute beast. The Playbook is designed to capture all the functionalities of the ipad and at the same time, offer the productivity of a notebook computer. 


BlackBerry Playbook also has multitasking capability over Ipad. The tablet computer can run multiple programs at the same time, without having to sacrifice speed and performance; a feature the ipad is severely lacking in. The powerful processing power makes the product ideal for both casual use and work and comes at a much lower price than the Ipad.

It is likely that Playbook will retail at a lower price than Ipad,  it might get a larger share of the market force because pricing is a major incentive for a lot of customers who will find it affordable to replace their laptops especially while on the move.
