Reviews for RIM’s new PlayBook tablet have hit the Web, and so far, they are not good. The company’s first tablet, the PlayBook will hit stores on April 19, ranging in cost from $499 to $699. The PlayBook was intended to be a worthy iPad 2 rival, but according to countless reviews, the PlayBook doesn’t pose a threat to Apple’s product.
Part of the problem is the software. It suffers from several oversights, including lackluster Flash performance and a drought of useful apps, noted Wired reviewer Mike Isaac.
