The Blackberry Playbook Arrives: Video Hands On and Image Gallery

Blackberry's Playbook arrived at our offices today, and we just started putting the device through its paces. There's a considerable amount of negativity around RIM's first tablet device. We'll withhold judgement until we've spent at least a full day with it, but we will admit to being disappointed that there's no native email client on the device. That feels like a shortcoming. 

On the plus side, the screen is pretty amazing, and standard internet performance is surprisingly snappy. 

More into to come as we unearth it. For now, here are a bunch of photographs of our shiny new thing. Update: Video First Look!
