BlackBerry PlayBook First Look

This is my first look at the retail (production) version of the 16 GB BlackBerry PlayBook. This was at my local Best Buy.

The GUI is fast and slick. It actually feels very polished! It was like a cross between the iOS and WebOS. Yes, it feels much more polished than Android Honeycomb! The gestures that required the bottom and top borders feel very Pre-like. Even the way you switch between running apps and closing them is WebOS-like, thanks to the flicking gestures.

It is slso very thin and small! I love this form factor. I forgot to mention in the video that there is no external storage options such as microSD, though.
