"Difficult to navigate"
2.5 starson by gabygermanosPros: ACTUAL multitasking; flash support; HD screen; practical size; attractive design
Cons: EXTREMELY difficult to use!
Summary: I don't have this--thank God. I messed around with one at a Best Buy today for about a half hour or so. Now, I've "played with" many tablets thus far, so I've learnt how to navigate pretty much any operating system. However, this was a mess! I couldn't figure out how to switch between apps, go to the homescreen, or turn on the stupid thing. I ended up using the browser on a Xoom on display nearby to find a "how to use Playbook gestures" website. Once I figured out to use the the Playbook, it was difficult to perfectly execute every gesture. I would NOT recommend this.

Why would you do a review for something that you played with for a half hour and don't actually own? I would say that it generally takes more than a half hour to get used to something you've never used before. Also, anyone who uses "learnt" as opposed to "learned" gets no credibility from me whatsoever. If you had wanted one, you should have done research, and if you didn't want one, why bother even checking it out?

You should buy one and play with it. If you own one then you will say...oh..it's how easy it is to use the tablet. Playbook gestures are very easy to use and it's unique to a tablet like this. I love it...true multi-tasking and powerful. My advice to you...review product only if you own one.

Go to all the stores and PLAY with the devices.. BUT why the need to waste everyone's time by posting a review for a product that you don't own. Ownership gives you the right to 'Review' a product, NOT playing with it for a few minutes in a store. davzway
