subject: Blackberry: Whats Old Is New Again [print this page] For decades, youth have been communicating with each other through peer to peer conversations. Theyve gone from writing notes and letters to using pagers and sending text messaging to sharing and having two-way communication about everything in their life on social networking sites. But through it all, the peer to peer conversation has always been equally important. Whether good or bad, this is the communication that young adults value and listen to more than any other group in their life. And for big companies, the key to it all has been giving youth the tools they need to facilitate these conversations more easily and more quickly than they ever have before.
BlackBerry is a brand that has succeeded in providing users with tools that make their lives easier. When BlackBerry first hit the market, it was with a pager that simply notified users when they received a message or email. This was helpful for business customers and considered something groundbreaking at the time. Then, with the arrival of the smart phone, BlackBerry introduced BBM, which revolutionized the way that users sent messages back and forth. BlackBerrys easy to use keyboards gave users a new way to type quickly, using a keyboard style that they were familiar with and closely positioned keys.
Recently, BlackBerry introduced their new BlackBerry PlayBook, a tablet PC that has all the functions of a full laptop or desktop computer, but without the bulk and weight. The BlackBerry PlayBook price is very competitive, and the device is perfect for taking all the work and play activities and streamlining them into one concise package that does everything you could ask for and more. The BlackBerry PlayBook specs include a lightweight design (roughly pound), dual HD cameras, 1GB of ram, and a 7 touch display that delivers crisp, clear images and videos. The PlayBook has a better battery life than most PCs, at a whopping 10 hours, and lets you stream multi-media while running BlackBerry PlayBook apps, a feature that most competitive tablets PC does not allow. In addition, the PlayBook can run Flash, which is another added plus. The biggest upsell of the PlayBook is the ability for users to multitask to the extreme, letting them get more done in less time. In addition, younger users love the ability to add BlackBerry PlayBook accessories to customize their devices. From covers and cases to skins and more, there are plenty of PlayBook accessories for every taste and style.
