BGR was lucky enough to link up with some RIM employees to get up close and personal with BlackBerry PlayBook. They was able show a good 10 minute video on the QNX-powered tablet by RIM. Key points about the PlayBook show:
- Smooth transitions and zero lag present.
- Onscreen keyboard will support multi-touch.
- Media (including video) can be minimized to play in the background.
- Only physical buttons on PlayBook are only the Power button and Volume rocker.
- The PlayBook is completely gesture-based navigation via the bezel ( swipe up to exit app, swipe up from the bottom left to access the keyboard, and swipe from the right to toggle full screen/normal screen).
Check out the video below after the break to see why this will more than likely be your next or first tablet purchase.
