First I want to say thank you to the fine folks at RIM for the developers contest that netted me a BlackBerry Playbook for the cost of creating an application. This is my first tablet device and after the first week of ownership all I can say is I really love the Playbook. Video playback is sharp and clear. Audio is better than that of some computers. It is responsive, not at all laggy. The only downside is the lack of some of the more mainstream apps, however with the new Android converter that will improve. Overall I am extremely impressed with the device, and I would say that even without the contest. This article written from my new Playbook.
