Blackberry Playbook

 The Blackberry Playbook might have what it takes to smoke out the Apple Ipad...just maybe. The Playbook runs quite fast with its 1GHZ Texas Instrument processor and 1GB of RAM. The Playbook also runs on Adobe Flash, which allows for faster videos. Both gadgets cost about the same, so consumers will not have to worry about price being a determining factor.The major difference between the Ipad and the Playbook is that the Playbook doesn't have a 3G OR 4G model, nor does it have a syncing client( i.e. blackberry desktop manager). The apps might also not be up to par with the Ipad. Given these pros and cons, it will be interesting to see which gadget does better after being in the market for a long period of time. The Ipad is already on its second series, giving it a competitive edge, but Blackberry could soon decide to create another Playbook that will be an even bigger competition to the Ipad.
