AnonD-36900, 05 Jan 2012Too anyone out there who owns one of these, I'm stuck with ... moreGoogle Maps don't work with BB PlayBook, there is no BB PlayBook app for it and the web app gets stuck at loading the page. I was shocked when I found such bug in PlayBook browser. It has a link on its home screen to bing that works fine but not very smooth. It has embedded GPS but you still need a phone with data plan that works as router on WiFi (then probably you will use the phone for maps, more handy). Such tablet is good only for around home or for certain business applications, its screen is too small for entertainment. Yet, it's worth for $200.

Do not buy one...they have been promising apps for this thing for 8 or 9 months and still nothing of any substance...if you own a BlackBerry phone, maybe; if not, stay away...

Too anyone out there who owns one of these, I'm stuck with getting this or the Dell Streak 7.
The main function I want the tablet for, is going onto Google Maps, and using it to plan my route for my days work. As you can set destinations etc, and it helps find what addresses are closer etc.
Any comments/replies to my enquiry would be Much Appreciated!!

I find the playbook smooth, easy to use, even when I have it loaded full, it's still quick at opening applications and very fast browsing, play youtube videos with no buffer, perhaps it's your WIFI that is the issue, not your playbook.

I have both iPad 2 and BB PlayBook. I use them regularly and I compare there features. As hardware and sofware quality PlayBook is similar with iPad 2, but similar not equal. However iPad 2 is better:
1. The size of screen is more contortable too the majority of people, less strain on eyes due to larger screen for almost the same resolution, we get bigger fonts in the same number on screen.
2. iPad 2 is confortable for holding it in portrait mode, best form factor for reading text. PlayBook not.
3. PlayBook is too heavy for its size thus to be kept by one hand only.
4. Even if we deactivate Flash on PlayBook the web browser is slower on PlayBook and buggy, some pages don't load to the end and if they are too long render slowly at scrolling the page.
5. Some touch commands have 1 secund latency on PlayBook or ignored, second attempt works, verified many times, iPad 2 has no such fault.
6. The battery life for the same usage on PlayBook is almost one third from iPad 2.
I do not comment the applications because th programmers community is responsible but a good and fast browser is the tresponsability of RIM for PlayBook.
Do not juge me we you do not own both devices.
For HTML5 only the browser for iPad 2 is better ever than Android's. I wish to be more competition on tablets but no equivalent so far to iPad 2.
