Video: BlackBerry PlayBook Overview

I was delighted to be invited by the team at CrackBerry.com to do some filming for them on Monday morning at Mobile World Congress.

I filmed this video overview of the PlayBook for them — but I thought you’d appreciate a look too.

I have to say, the PlayBook is looking rather fine. The web browser — as developer relations head honcho Mike Kirkup commented back in September — ‘absolutely rocks’. It really does. It’s quite a pleasure to use as well — I am particularly taken with the use of the screen edges as part of the UI (e.g. swiping up from below the screen). I also really like the concept of dragging app windows off the screen to delete/stop them.

The chap from RIM gave us a good overview — see what you think.
