With the official news that RIM was finally going to release their PlayBook Tablet (originally rumored the ‘BlackPad’ by the media), I’m genuinely excited as at last we’d soon be seeing a new tablet that would be ‘different’. Not that we haven’t seen enough of new tablets this year. But to be honest, its been either the iPad or another Android tablet hitting the news.

Sure Android tablets deliver great diversity but there are now just so many that you’d have difficulty choosing the right one. With the new PlayBook Tablet, I reckon it’ll offer consumers and users just that extra touch of choice and plus it’ll be the third unique tablet OS after iOS and Android (if you don’t include Windows), this will surely make the competition much more fascinating. The best part is, the PlayBook will do 1080p HD video recording as well as playback.

Here’s a fantastic first look video we’ve picked off the internet.
