BlackBerry PlayBook First Tablet To Gain NIST Approval

Posted by timothy on from the perfect-for-bureaucrats dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Despite its current struggles to win over consumers, RIM has always been strong in the enterprise. The company remained steadfast in its support for corporate environments with the launch of the PlayBook, calling it the only business-grade tablet. The NIST is now ready to back that claim, giving the BlackBerry PlayBook its stamp of approval — meaning it's now the lone tablet that is certified for use in U.S. government agencies."

    Easy to sum up 'government grade' how boring, iPad like all the other iStuff is all about marketing and the perception of being 'special' for owning iJunk, of having better fashion taste and sense, of being able to afford it. In other words when it comes to actual function over form it tends to fail against the competition. So fine plenty of money in the iGullible market, it's just once you loose that fake 'cool; the market can collapse pretty fast.
