Will BlackBerry PlayBook obsolesce any past technologies?

  Despite the BlackBerry PlayBook's new and advanced technologies; I doubt it will obsolesce other tablets.  For example the iPad was one of the original tablets of this kind; it would be very difficult for any company, not just BlackBerry to obsolesce a technology like that because it is the most widely known tablet.  On the other hand many BlackBerry smartphone users may resort to the PlayBook because of it's capabilities for syncing with their smartphones, this can be very useful when you have a hectic job in the business world.  The PlayBook is aimed towards business customers compared to the Apple iPad which is aimed at younger generations and businesses so it is really up to personal preference,  the Apple iPad may contain plenty of apps but the PlayBook contains more organization and business uses.



  Overall I believe that the BlackBerry Playbook will not obsolesce any past technologies, it may create competition between rivals like Motorola Xoom who are soon to launch a tablet and Apple iPad but I do not believe it will be able to obsolesce them, all tablets have various different technologies to offer and unless BlackBerry comes out with a mind controlled tablet I don't believe they will whipe out any other tablet companies for good.
