INTERFACE

The Playbook is very user friendly. Working on multiple windows and toggling between them is a delight, though it may take a while to get used to it. HTC’s Sense UI looks beautiful on phones but is super clunky on a tablet.

LOOKS

Rounded edges and a simple dark metal and rubber chassis imparts it a cool ‘n’ tough look. The tiddly power button, however, can drive you crazy. Reassuringly bulky, which is to say that over time, the heft of this tablet actually makes it feel more solid

ACCESSORIES

Apart from basic accessories like the charger and a USB cable, you get an HDMI cable and a faddy pouch to keep delicate tablet safe and dust-free. A nifty little stylus that HTC likes to call a ‘Magic Pen’ to annotate pictures and write notes in your own handwriting. Also, USB cable and earphones.

DISLIKES

Limited Apps, Dependence on another BlackBerry device Older version of Android

LIKES

User Friendly, supports Flash, HDMI Stylus A.K.A Magic Pen, display, battery life
