Tech tutorials, howtos and walkthroughs

The long awaiting Blackberry Playbook tablet computer has been released today in North America. RIM is entering a market dominated by Apple’s iPad but with fierce competition existing and on the horizon from from HP (webOS) Samsung (Android) and Microsoft (Windows).

The buzz surrounding the Playbook’s launch is nowhere near that of the iPad but industry professionals are quick to point out that the Playbook’s target audience (business professionals and executives) are not the type to go standing in lines. Lets see how successful the Playbook will be as the tablet wars get even hotter and hotter in the coming months.
