These features can only be accessed when the user connects with a BlackBerry smartphone to Playbook via BlackBerry Bridge. In addition, 7-inch screen size is also deemed less.  

Compared to Apple iPad2, the application of Playbook somewhat less, about four thousand applications. Finally, the operating system (OS), the new QNX Software on this tablet is felt to be a weakness because the user must readjust.
