RIM PlayBook Tablet: UI Looks Good, But App Switching Looks Too Slow
RIM’s playbook for its upcoming PlayBook tablet draws from a couple of interesting and mostly failed strategies.
– Symbiotic relationship with older BlackBerry phone sibling for 3G data. Palm tried and didn’t even launch its Folio product that also paired a larger derice with its existing phone line. Palm is now gone. Tethering is a good idea and good strategy. However, tying tethering to just one brand has not worked out in the past.
– The PlayBook is based on the UNIX-like QNX operating system while RIM’s BlackBerry phones are based on various versions of BlackBerry OS (non-touch and touch).
