At the bottom, is the location of the port's Playbook. A microHDMI, micro USB, docking port and decorate the bottom of this black tablet. While at the other end there is a 3.5-mm audio port. Just like the iPad, Playbook was not equipped with a microSD slot.
Inside the Playbook, RIM buried 1GHz Texas Instruments OMAP4430 processor and PowerVR graphics SGX540, which is expected to match the superiority tablets Android with their Tegra 2.
Specifications are then paired with 1 GB of RAM memory. No wonder Playbook able to perform a series of functions with a very smooth multitasking. There are variants: 16GB, 32GB or 64GB in the Playbook. Consumers are free to choose according to their budget and needs.

Playbook run using QNX, a UNIX-like OS developed by RIM about a year ago. When tested the results of RIM's research is evident. Playbook new users directly familiar with the view that disungnya.
Actually, the look is a little Playbook terksan webOS style similar to that currently being developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) is more.
When I first felt all the functionality of this OS, definitely some new users directly asked. 'Where is the exit of an application'. Yes, RIM did not put physical buttons around the main display. Users simply shift the display between the bezel and the main screen to the top when I want to exit the application.
Touch gestures exciting is that this seems to be considered a prospective buyer proposes Playbook steady or not.

Finally the battery business. RIM has been equipping Playbook with 5300 mAh of power. When tested to connect to BlackBerry Bridge, the tablet is able to survive a full day. However, when tablets are only used passively (not internet connected) playing games, or watching videos, the durability of more than three days (from the battery 100% full conditions).
User Interface (UI) 7 inch tablet is not too much different with the BlackBerry OS 6. There are several options at the click of a column if a new pop up. By default there are columns: All, Favorites, Media, Games, and BlackBerry Bridge. While on the top right side there is a battery indicator, bluetooth, wifi, screen rotation lock, and setting. If there is a new notification, users who have connected with their BlackBerry Playbook can see it in the upper left side.
One of which must be recognized at RIM tablet is multitasking capabilities diusungnya. When tested, the Playbook remains smooth when it is used to start the video, audio, open the Need for Speed game, open the page browsing, open a photo gallery, and open the document. Pdf simultaneously. Because RIM is able to allocate the use of applications as well.
For example when we open applications and switch to video game applications. Automatic video currently running will stop momentarily when gaming on the run. And vice versa. Which makes it all the easier is the appearance of a direct slide-slide between applications.
Also however, this is BB Phone Pair

In terms of function, arguably Playbook memilikidua function. As a stand-alone wifi tablet, and tablets that can continue the affairs of the Blackberry phone our office.
However, the Playbook is highly dependent on the BlackBerry Bridge in order to remain able terkneksi with mobile BB. It uses bluetooth connectivity. So naturally if used all day, we become a hot BB phones.
When both devices are connected, incoming emails will be displayed in the Playbook by notification in the top left. The problem is, when the connection is interrupted, all the functions of Bridge will break up on the spot, along with the data runs.
