RIM may want people to compare its PlayBook tablet to the iPad, but journalists have a less complimentary comparison for the device.
[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]While I was attending WWDC last week, CNN said the PlayBook was the “herpes of tablets.” Apparently the news organization was trying to return the PlayBook to RIM and got no response.
CNN thought so little of the PlayBook that they would pull it out when really bad products were sent to them and say, “But at least it’s not as bad as the PlayBook!”
Surely even those people that gave the PlayBook some slack for not including email, calendaring and basic Internet connectivity, must be reconsidering their position.
Ain’t schadenfreude great?
Practice safe computing people! Always wear your raincoat when using questionable devices!
Maybe if it was bigger, its just too small. iPad 2 for me.
The bright side is that people are limiting Playbook contact so the disease isn’t spreading.
How does the Playbook compare to the Xoom?
Is the Xoom the syphilis of the tablets??
But the PlayBook runs Flash and you know how all the iHaters just love Flash to death. Flashtards forever more!
Nobody wants herpes around the RIM!
Could someone elaborate on “the herpes of tablets”? Last I checked, it was easily the best 7” tablet out there and arguably the best overall tablet out there. It does do many things better than the iPad2 and allows free data sharing if you have a Blackberry, not too shabby…
I’m assuming the “herpes of tablets” comment from CNN was because the couldn’t return it. Once they “contracted” Playbook they were stuck with it.
Whether it’s the best tablet out there of any size is purely opinion. There’s no way to say one is “easily” the best. If you’re one of the dwindling number of Blackberry owners, you’ll probably like the Playbook more than others. Either way try them all and buy the one you like the best.
I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 around 5 years ago, when I was in college and had a stupid one-nighter. I suppose some women say this but trust me I never did that sort of thing. I jud made an error that one time and, straightaway, it appeared like I was going to have to live with it for the rest of my life. The awful part was thinking I could never be intimate with someone else again. After all, who wants to go out with a woman who has sores around her you-know-what? But after somebody shared this site https://factsyfherpes.wordpress.com/bvz/ , everything has changed. Not only was I able to get rid of all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 15 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my true love and I’m so fortunate to say that just last week, in fornt of a lot of people in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program offered me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.
