Media on the BlackBerry PlayBook – Video

One of the advantages to having any kind of tablet is the ability to view photos, video and listen to music while out and about. The BlackBerry PlayBook seems to handle media pretty well so I thought i would give you a brief demonstration on video.

Since getting the PlayBook for review I have found myself taking it more places than I would do my iPad and this has to be due to size. For me, carrying around a 7 inch tablet just feels more natural than with a 10 inch. Of course all Smartphone’s these days are capable of playing music and video but you cant beat watching video on a larger screen.

With the Battery on the PlayBook being capable of playing a few films on one charge I can see me using the device whenever it comes to a plane or train journey.

See what you think in the video below and if you have any questions please feel free to ask them in out Tablet forum.

The BlackBerry PlayBook as a business tool – Video

With RIM having a huge chunk of the corporate market when it comes to BlackBerry Smartphones I am rather pleased with how the PlayBook can be used as a business tool. Over the years I have used many different mobile platforms and on several of them if you want to create a word or excel document you need to pay for an application to do so. Luckily the BlackBerry PlayBook comes pre loaded with applications that will mimic Word, Excel and PowerPoint to allow you to create and share business documents when out of the office.

As you will see in the video the apps are easy to use and will be perfect for those times when you wish you could create a document but have no access to a PC or Mac.

It is still early days for the BlackBerry PlayBook but I am encouraged by what I have seen so far and I will be using the PlayBook as a business tool for sure.

HTC Flyer Unboxing Video

First announced at Mobile World Congress back in February the HTC Flyer is the companies first attempt at jumping into the tablet market. Packed with the all so familiar HTC Sense, the Flyers user interface will be very familiar to many, although it does have a few additional new features now.

With a 1.5GHz processor and running Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) the new tablet certainly has the specification good enough to compete with the other popular 7 inch tablets already on the market and with the HTC brand now being so common could this itself help with the Flyers sales?

The new ‘Scribe Technology’ will certainly appeal to some. Could the HTC Flyer be a business mans new best friend?

Of course we will have a full review in the near future but in the meantime you can check out our unboxing video below along with the HTC Flyers full specs.

HTC Sensation promo video

Over on the HTC YouTube channel they have published what I can only say is a glorious video demonstrating the forthcoming HTC Sensation.

Although we don’t know for sure when the Sensation will be available many online retailers are allowing pre-orders and giving a date of the end of June. Fingers crossed we will have our review unit well before then so keep your eyes peeled for our unboxing video.

You can check out the HTC Sensation video below and also see a full run down of specification.

LG show their own Optimus Black video

Earlier this week I posted an unboxing video of the LG Optimus Black which arrived in a unique presentation box from LG all the way from Korea. I’ve been rather impressed with the Black, it’s certainly thin and the NOVA display technology is awesome.

LG also recorded their own unboxing video of the Optimus Black which you can check out below, I’m not sure that it could be called the standard retail package though but I really need to get me one of those boxes!

BlackBerry PlayBook Browser Demo – Video

With the web browser being one of the most used features on any tablet I thought I would give you a brief demo of it in action on the BlackBerry PlayBook.

Historically the web browser on BlackBerry Smartphones has always been lagging compared to the competition. Not anymore now the that the PlayBook runs RIM’s new QNX operating system.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in our tablet forum.

LG Optimus Black unboxing video

Yesterday a large box arrived here in the office, wasn’t sure what it was as all I was expecting was the LG Optimus Black. Turns out that the huge box did indeed contain the Optimus Black (P970) and that it was in a really cool presentation pack. It’s been a while since we saw anything quite like it.

The Optimus Black was announced back in January and is expected to go on sale sometime in May here in the UK.

There are two main draws for the Optimus Black. First of all LG are claiming the prize for the worlds thinnest smartphone. At just 9.2mm there’s no denying that it’s slim but as for being the thinnest there’s a bit of contention between LG and Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy S2 may indeed be thinner across parts of the body but the Optimus Black is a consistent 9.2mm across the whole handset.

Secondly LG have fitted a NOVA LCD display in the Black. In essence this is a super-bright and energy efficient display technology offering 700 nits of brightness across the 4″ 480 x 800 display whilst consuming as much as 50% less power than competitors screens.

Check out the video and the full specification below to see it in action. Note that this is a PR model straight from LG and not the retail unit. My demo handset has a faulty loudspeaker that pops and crackles periodically, don’t take too much notice. We’ll have a review for you soon.
