According to the World English Dictionary, a playbook is defined as ‘a book containing a range of possible set plays’ or ‘a notional range of possible tactics in any sphere of activity’.
The BlackBerry PlayBook is due to enter into the ring of battle in the tablet computing space in early 2011. With the plethora of features that it promises to include in this initial release, it seems certain that Research In Motion will be giving existing tablets some fierce competition.
Begin with a new and powerful operating system for the PlayBook called QNX. This OS offers true multitasking for the PlayBook, which is exactly what the business savvy user is looking for.
Add to this strong foundation FULL support for the latest Adobe Flash technology along with Adobe AIR and HTML 5. Demonstrations of the PlayBook show beautifully rendered pages without any gaps or errors due to web technologies that might not be supported, like with other tablets.
The PlayBook doesn’t stop there, however. Did someone say video-conferencing? With both a front-facing and rear-facing camera, this tablet was made to allow you to get to the meetings you can’t make in person. Whether its a budget review with the CFO or a bedtime story from your hotel room, it will seem like you’re there in person.
Now, harness all of this power to the BlackBerry Enterprise infrastructure already in place and supporting hundreds of thousands of users.
The resulting creation is a tablet computer that serves a definite purpose for it’s owner beyond gaming or lifestyle applications. It is the personal assistant that never sleeps, is always eager to please, and is guaranteed ready to go when you are.
More succinctly, it allows the user to tackle a ‘notional range of possible tactics in any sphere of activity’ successfully.
