BlackBerry PlayBook vs. iPad vs. Galaxy Tab vs. Streak: the tale of the tape

What a day -- yesterday, that is. Research in Motion finally announced its long-awaited BlackBerry tablet, the 7-inch PlayBook (thankfully not named the BlackPad). While there's still quite a few missing details, and nary an unit in site for us to try first-hand, we've still got a sampling of specs for this little guy to go tête-à-tête on the quantitative field of proverbial battle, at least as it can be seen so far (that early 2011 release date is still a ways off). Looks very promising so far, lined up against Apple's iPad, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, and the Dell Streak, but our known unknowns -- i.e. price, app support, and overall feel of using the QNX-built operating system -- are what will really make or break the slate. Until that time, enjoy our number-crunching below:

Input Devices

The black edge around the IPS screen seems to be very wide (1.7 centimeters), but it has a reason. RIM has omitted Home, Back and Menu buttons on its tablet OS. For the record, these three standard buttons comes with Android in the lower left. The PlayBook doesn't need them because the same commands can be executed by swiping over the edge:

Wake up from standby: Swipe from the top to the bottom edge (or vice versa)
Switch among apps: Swipe from the left or right edge toward center
Close app: Swipe from bottom to center
Open Menu or app: Swipe from top to center

The virtual keyboard can be operated in the 7-inch format in portrait mode by both thumbs. The BlackBerry smartphone users already have practice with this. Unfortunately, there is no microphone option for speaking a Web URL, for example. The keyboard function crashed once during the test and couldn't be removed from the foreground. A hardware reset was necessary here. We noticed the screen's slow change of direction with a bit of annoyance. It doesn't seem to be the sensor's fault since NFS Undercover shows a responsive control.

Tab Structure

The operating system is divided into tabs and categories. The opened apps are always shown on the Home screen in a large thumbnail view (upper limit: 8 simultaneously opened apps). We see the automatic categories Favorites, Media and Games below that. It is merely a filter for all installed apps that can also be displayed bundled as tabs via "All". The tabs in each category can't be relocated. Android 3.2 allows a greater personalization here. 

The BlackBerry browser works fast. Scrolling and infinite two finger zooming is easy and clicks are accurate. The browser supports flash and HTML 5. The browser tabs appear when the menu is pulled from the upper edge into the screen. In this view, it's possible to scroll left and right between the previews. Honeycomb doesn't offer this feature.

The usual multi-touch controls for the fingers

is complemented by the sensitive, black edge.

Display

The 7 inch IPS screen has a very high resolution of 1024x600 pixels (WSVGA). In comparison: 10 inch tablets tendentiously have 1280x800 pixels. Technically, finger input is capacitive multi-touch, as usual. The reflective screen leaves a sea of fingerprints, but that is a drawback that all tablets have in common. 

We measure a very good contrast of 780:1 with a black value of 0.64 cd/m² in maximum brightness. The contrast is high particularly because it has a downright enormous brightness of nearly 500 cd/m². [08:31:52] Martina Osztovits: If the screen is dimmed, the contrast even increases. This is particularly advantageous indoors, because the light sensor automatically dims the screen in darker surroundings. Consequently, black areas look even darker (white content sinks). The contrast is almost on a par with the iPad 2 (843:1), LG V900 (778:1), Acer Iconia Tab W500 (881:1) and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (805:1). However, Motorola's Xoom (1491:1) is clearly superior here.

473 cd/m² 486 cd/m² 492 cd/m²   481 cd/m² 499 cd/m² 498 cd/m²   496 cd/m² 500 cd/m² 497 cd/m²

Information Gossen Mavo-Monitor Maximum: 500 cd/m² Average: 491.3 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 95 % Center on Battery: 499 cd/m² Black: 0.64 cd/m² Contrast: 780:1

Distribution of brightness

High contrast of 780:1 and stable viewing angles

The PlayBook's maximum brightness is in a class of its own because the distribution of brightness (95%) and the absolute brightness of 491 cd/m² are the highest we have ever measured in tablets (and notebooks). The competition can't keep up: Although the Sony Tablet P (369), iPad2 (368), LG V900 (381), Galaxy Tab 10.1 (305) and Motorola Xoom (304) don't have a much lower brightness, they can't hold a candle to the PlayBook.

There's no doubt that the brightness will suffice for outdoor use, even despite the glare type. Reflections remain depending on the sun's position, but they are easily eliminated by changing the place.

The viewing angles are good to very good from every position. The following viewing angle picture from the darkroom doesn't reveal any color deviations, regardless of which angle we look at the screen. However, such wide viewing angles aren't anything special in tablets with high-end IPS screens (iPad2, LG V900, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Motorola Xoom).

Performance

RIM relies on an ARM Cortex A9 dual core processor with a clock of 1 GHz. It is the same one as in Nvidia's Tegra 250 range. The latter is a so-called system on a chip (SoC), which unites processor, graphics, memory controller, audio and video de/encoder on a single chip. The platform is called OMAP 4430 in the PlayBook and comes from Texas Instruments. The graphics is a PowerVR SGX540 (DirectX 10.1, Shader 4.1), which is also etched into silicon under license by Texas Instruments. 

Our test sample comes with one gigabyte of DDR2 RAM and features a mass storage capacity of 16 GB, which cannot be expand because the tablet lacks an SD or micro SD slot. Thus, if you need a higher capacity, you'd have to go for the 32 GB (489€) or 64 GB model (575€). The extra cost is steep considering that the 16 GB version is sold for starting at 390€.

System information: BlackBerry Playbook WiFi 16GB

BlackBerry's Tablet OS is based on QNX, which is a UNIX based system with microkernel. The advantage compared to a standard kernel structure, such as in Android (Linux kernel): An operation isn't processed as a whole, but as a series of smaller tasks (called servers). Third party app developers therefore only have to take care of the relevant servers of their app and not the remainder of the operating system.

An obvious advantage is real multi-tasking, which is also supported  by the dual core CPU, 1024 GB memory and the flexibility of QNX. That's not only theory, but also visible. The thumbnails on the Home screen aren't displayed as captures, but continue to run (webcam, video, browser, games, etc.).

The keywords for unlimited WWW fun are Flash 10.1 (Full HD video playback) and HTML 5 (improved implementation of multimedia and graphics). Tablet OS supports both. But that also applies to Android 3.2.

The TI OMAP 4430's performance is located in the back rows of tablets, but it's enough for the top among smartphones. The LG Optimus P920 3D (OMAP 4430, SGX540) manages 47337 points in Browsermark. Our PlayBook, with the same hardware, is present with 43375 points. The Galaxy S2 (Samsung Exynos 4210), also a smartphone, only achieves 35139 points.

The tablet comparison in Browsermark, Google V8 and Sunspider 0.9.1 is poor to average. Browsermark and Google V8 check the JavaScript / HTML capabilities of the browser. The Sunspider test only focuses on JavaScript. Thus, the measured results are not sufficient for a final evaluation of the system's performance.

Videos and Games

We tried out a range of HD test videos (720p, 1080p) in MPEG4 and WMV formats (as well as H.264 codec). None proved to be a problem for the PlayBook.

Games aren't an issue either - after all, the tablet is named PlayBook. In addition to the installed games, Tetris and NFS Undercover (car race), games can also be found in the App World. The offer doesn't seem as abundant as that of the Android Market. There is particularly a lack of big publishers who offer tablet versions of their games. Rockstar Games, with their remake of Grand Theft Auto 3 (Android only), would be an example.

Emissions

System Noise

The Playbook works noiselessly since it doesn't have a fan.

Temperature

The case gets warm during normal use without hours of video playback or uninterrupted gaming, but hardly ever exceeds 30 degrees Celsius on the rear-sided soft-grip surface. The temperature however increases to 38 degrees during a load scenario, which we induced with a 1080p trailer. But that is only selective. The average remains at a tolerable 33°C. The rubber coating has a higher heat storing effect than plastic or aluminum casings.

Speakers

The speakers are hidden on the screen's right and left. Their volume is remarkable for a small tablet. Rock music with a lot of bass sounds tinny and faint at maximum volume. Up to a level of about 75%, the sound is fairly balanced, has a small amount of bass and even lets the case vibrate. Interesting: The player stores volume settings for the headphone out and for the built-in speaker separately. That prevents a sudden sound explosion over the internal speakers when the headphones are disconnected.

Battery Life

Power Consumption

We use a voltmeter at the 10 watt power adapter of the PlayBook to measure the power consumption. The battery was fully charged for all measurements (can't be removed). The 7 inch tablet only consumes 1.7 to 3.3 watts in idle. The load power consumption of 5.4 watts corresponds to other 7 inch tablets (also Tegra 2): Acer Iconia Tab A100 (4.8W), Dell Streak 7" (5.4W), HTC Flyer 7" WiFi+3G (5.3W) oder Creative ZiiO 7" (6.9w).

The comparatively low standby consumption of 0.1 watts is relevant for practical use. The PlayBook should be able to last for weeks with one battery charge when only used sporadically. Devices, such as the Dell Streak 7", draw 0.8w out of the power outlet (measurement) or out of the battery.

Battery Life

What runtime can potential buyers at best expect? Our chart shows 12:20 hours in idle (not standby!). That seems like a lot, but is unrealistic due to inactivity, lowest brightness and disabled wireless modules. The PlayBook lasts for 7:07 hours in the WLAN test with low brightness (100 cd/m²) in a mix of website surfing and video clips. The Galaxy Tab 10.1v (9:35) even achieves that as a 10 inch device. The 8.9 inch LG V900 (7:15), the iPad 2 (7:30) and the Motorola Xoom (7:26) are approximately on the same level. 

Two 10 Wh lithium ion batteries ensure the runtimes. They are located on the left and right inside the case, and thus the weight is distributed evenly. This capacity is fairly low in comparison: Acer Iconia Tab (35 Wh), Motorola Xoom (24.5 Wh) or iPad2 (25 Wh). The nevertheless good battery life speaks for the PlayBook.We couldn't open the device, but there is an article on silicon.de where the BlackBerry PlayBook has been disassembled.

Verdict

The BlackBerry PlayBook looks like an alien at first glance. While Android is becoming very fashionable at the moment and the apps for it are emerging fast, RIM's tablet is on the shelves with the proprietary operating system, BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0. 

The PlayBook's strengths are revealed when the user is open for the operating concept and the details of the BlackBerry Tablet OS. The manufacturer hasn't promised too much here. Sensitive edges make the Home and Back button unnecessary and we can switch among opened apps with a swipe of a finger. Android needs two steps and "built-in" buttons for this. The cursor tags allow a more accurate change in text than we know it from Android.

In terms of software, the Tablet OS proves to be a clearly arranged system with a lot of security functions (e.g. application authorization) and synchronization options. BlackBerry's App World is well-sorted, especially in the categories finances, productivity or business. The tablet benefits for the existing BlackBerry smartphone developer community.

Even more interesting, though not absolutely necessary for the efficient use of the PlayBook, would be Android apps on the device. But this will first be possible with the successor version 2.0 of the OS (platform BBX with Android Runtime).

The 7 inch tablet shows itself at its best in terms of measurable mobility. Although the screen is reflective, the brightness of 491 cd/m² can stand up against sunlight. When the brightness is set to maximum outdoors (ambient light sensor off), it won't be possible to enjoy the seven-hour battery life. The compact, stable case is without flaw and we appreciate the high contrast of the screen.

What are the drawbacks? The manufacturer warranty of 12 months is quite short and it is quite annoying that the timeout can't be disabled. We don't consider the Tablet OS to be a drawback, quite the opposite. Many good ideas were implemented in the BlackBerry OS and future Android releases can learn from these.

BlackBerry smartphone owners will feel comfortable with its handling, since data sharing between these two end devices is possible and the tablet can use the smartphone's Internet connection. In this respect, users don't even have to wait for the more expensive 3G version (not yet in German retail).
