Picked up Blackberry Playbook to compare with my ipad 2.....Fail!

Op, you are fickle.

As far as returns go........ If the store allows it I'm not sure how you can fault the op. If it was really a problem, the retailer would adjust their return policy.

So you trash it in this thread and trash the iPad 2 in the other?

Like I said this guy fails at trolling. No one is falling for it.

I have a blackberry playbook 64GB I compared the specs between this and 64GB Ipad2 Playbook Camera 1=3MP 2= 5 MP 1080p HD Video
Ipad 2 Camera 1=.7MP 2= VGA
Winner Playbook
Memory playbook= 1GB
Ipad2 = 512 MB
Winner Playbook
The Ipad has a bigger screen but the blackberry playbook is much better then the ipad for portability and the weight difference also goes to the play book .9 lbs or 425 grams compared to the ipad at a heavy weight at 1.33 and 1.35 lbs depending if you have wifi or wifi and 3g

Not liking it as much as ipad 2, so im going to return it this weekend.

- screen is too small and really crammed to type on
- no BBM and no dedicated email client
- dont like the OS as much as iOS4
- no home button...feels really wierd! You have to swipe up on the screen just above where it says blackberry.
- the volume keys arent flush, theyre angled so they stick out awkwardly
- lots are having tethering and power button issues
- theres a slight delay to the picture rotating when rotating the playbook

Thats just off the top of my head. I do like how its true 16:9 screen and not ipads 4:3.

Could have saved you the trouble. What did you think would happen?

Features of iPad2

Dual-core A5 chip. It’s fast, times two.

Superfast graphics. Go, gamers, go.

Battery life keeps on going. So you can, too.

Two cameras. And a big hello to FaceTime for iPad.

iPad Smart Cover. Designed for iPad. And vice versa.

LED-backlit display. The view is amazing.

Multi-Touch. Everything’s at your fingertips.

iOS 4. The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.

Instant On. The fun starts fast.

Wi-Fi and 3G. Two great ways to stay connected.

Gyro, accelerometer, and compass. iPad knows your every move.

AirPlay. Your movie-photo-music stream.

Video mirroring. What you do is what they see.

AirPrint. Print everything wirelessly.

And, if you have the expendable cash, why not. If I had a lot of extra money I might purchase a few other tablets just to compare them. Hell, I probably wouldn't even take them back but give them to family members as gifts if I didn't like them.

Well, because retailers have to factor in restocking and refunds into their overhead so they can still make a profit. Just makes things that much more expensive for people who do buy stuff...

So your saying people should be stuck with crummy "iPad killers"?

Not at all. I'm saying don't "buy" stuff you have no intention of keeping just so you can play with it.

Anyone who thinks that doesn't impact the economics of the picture has never run a business. Everything is overhead.

Thread closed. Has run its course and quite frankly we are tired of the OP trolling.
