RIM PlayBook: More Play Than Work

Research in Motion long has had a dominant role as an enterprise device supplier. But its new PlayBook tablet might not. You might wonder whether the PlayBook is an "enterprise-focused" tablet, or more a tablet that could be used in the enterprise.

Some early reviews are mixed on that score. Some say it is a bit inconvenient to get back to enterprise data, sometimes requiring a separate BlackBerry. That does offer a higher degree of data protection, but arguably isn’t convenient. Most tablet users today want their work email on it too, and more likely they won’t have a BlackBerry to connect.

Unlike other RIM devices, the PlayBook offers lower battery life than the competition, and less stability.
