This is my second blog post on Playbook that I bought about 15 days ago and boy… I just love it.

Many of my friends, who are not using a BB (Blackberry), were curious to know more about my latest craze or rather my latest gadget. My words emit pride as I talk about my Playbook with all the show off!  That was the moment when a thought struck my mind, ‘Would non BB users also choose to buy the Playbook?’

Seriously, the willingness to buy Playbook I have only seen in those who are already using a Blackberry. However what I think is it’s a kind of tablet which anyone can buy who wants to buy a wi-fi only tablet. This is as good as any other wi-fi tab we have in market.

 Then some guys start comparing the specs, my point is what is in numbers? What we should look for is performance. It is pretty amazing to touch, pretty cool graphics, true multi-tasking, flash supported browser etc etc..  I had NFS, Asphalt, Browser and one more game running in background and I couldn’t see any lag in the performance. Now I don’t need to care as to how many GHz CPU I have, I am happy with the performance.

What RIM could have done is, they could have promoted the Playbook for non BB users as well. They are pretty creative with their ads, ‘Do what you Love, Love what you do’. It’s their ads which made Curve 8520 famous amongst the teenagers. I don’t remember a single ad featuring Playbook.  If they had the mindset of launching the tablet as a standalone wi-fi tablet with an extra star for having a BB  for an added advantage to access mail, BBM and browse then I am sure it would have encouraged more people to buy Playbook.

So if you want my call, I strongly recommend the Playbook for non BB users as well. Go for it ! I Say
