- Seamless software updates over WiFi. Old style iPads require a cable and connection to a PC running iTunes.
- Perfect size for sneaking into the bathroom for a quick read. You know you want to do it! With an awkward iPad, everyone else will know it too.
- You can use your existing wireless data plan for free - including iPhone data plans. In many parts of the world, iPads are expressly forbidden from sharing iPhone data plans.
- Has a good looking flip case + stand that actually works. The new magnetic iPad case looks like a circa 1960 bi-fold closet door that is hard to hold when using your iPad. Some say it makes a great fridge magnet.
- You can easily copy files to and from your PlayBook. File copying is forbidden on an iPad.
- Get an optimized tablet User Interface written in this decade. The iPad has just a phone interface from 2006.
- Shoot great looking 1080p HD video. The iPad looks like a phone in comparison. Oops, that's unfair. The iPhone shoots better video than an iPad.
- Great for thumb typing! The PlayBook is easy to hold and type. Typing on the iPad is like tapping on a cookie sheet.
- Watch any video media format. The PlayBook supports them all. The iPad shows only specially produced H.264 videos from iTunes.
and finally... the number one reason to get a PlayBook...
- Flash !!!
I called your shot on #1. That was easy. But I enjoyed #9 the most!
ReplyDelete11. Makes a good book reader (comes with Kobo). And unlike a broadsheet-sided iPad, you can read it on the bus just like a paperback without having everyone else read it with you.
