what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy comm and today we're taking a look at the blackberry playbook I'm really excited to take a look at this as you guys know if you follow the channel I've got the iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom which I unboxed over there it's going to be nice to put this PlayBook up against them just to see how it stacks up BlackBerry has gone with an understated box here it's also real small if you guys are fans of the channel you recognize the fact that I don't have my usual blade today I got a I got a sub in I couldn't find the other one so anyway it's going to be nice to get a tablet that's a little bit smaller a little bit more portable but I don't know how it's going to play out from a practical standpoint I mean seven inches is somewhere between your smartphone and what's already available with tablets so anyway we'll get a chance to play with it and we'll have the full review coming up and we'll stack it up against those other ones anyway look at this blackberry gave us a neoprene case and this thing is super light I like it when the manufacturers give you something you weren't expecting even if it's small like a case it's nice we've got a little bit of documentation here telling you to make sure you're in Wi-Fi coverage when you first start it I guess is probably going to be an update or something anyway next we've got the rest of our stuff this is probably the main documentation I'm assuming our manual and whatnot and look at that a cleaning cloth rejoice anyway these devices do need cleaning cloths they're attracting fingerprints like crazy I'm sure you know that and here is our literature we have safety and product information in about three languages and we've also got our warranty which looks like it's in two languages anyway I'm never going to read those it's the last time I'll see them and it's the last time you'll see them next we've got our cables and adapters this is going to be power let's see if my new blade can get us into here just as I expected not as good as my other one so we got to be a little bit more careful methodical there we go anyway so I think we've got a power cable that's a USB cable and there's our power cable so you get a regular USB and then you've got a micro USB that terminates to the regular power prongs so here's our USB cable now the weird thing about this is this can't really communicate very well to my Mac so that's going to be funny to see what what I can really do with that but anyway this is going to charge it up for me and as you'll notice it's got the micro USB on one end and the fold down prongs which I like enough of these accessories let's move on to the unit itself so here we have it and like I said the first thing I notice is just how much smaller it is then the iPad 2 or the Motorola Xoom and that could be a good thing or bad thing depending on what you're looking for it's obviously going to be a little bit more portable but you're going to lose a little bit of screen size although it does have a decent resolution so the real estate is not down that much so we've got a velocity front side like we do on every single tablet that's hitting the market our ambient light sensor and our three megapixel front-facing camera which is a really decent spec for a front facing camera and our five megapixel camera on the back we got our multimedia buttons on the top along with power and our headphone jack there too and on the bottom side we've got our charging port micro USB port and sixteen gigabyte designation that magnetic port I'm not sure how it's going to be used because it didn't come with a cable I assume it's to charge it it's also got forward-facing speakers which is a nice addition anyway subscribe for the full review I have a lot more to say about it
