all right guys so I've got another quick test for you with the iPad 2 as well as
0:05
the Blackberry playbook and the assus Transformer running Android 3.0 so we
0:11
captured a similar video clip on the cameras the rear higher quality cameras
0:16
of all three devices and then we're going to go ahead and okay I'm not sure
0:20
how I'm going to play all these back at the same time but I'm going to try there
0:24
we go so you guys can check out
0:27
the motion as well as the color that you
0:31
get from the camera as well as when it's playing on the screen so I'm just going
0:34
to play them all again so you can zoom out and have a look honestly the best
0:39
screen out of the three is probably the Blackberry playbook the blacks are
0:43
deepest the whites are brightest compared to even the iPad which or iPad
0:47
2 rather which has a a well-renowned
0:51
excellent screen I know it's going to be hard to tell when you're looking at it
0:55
through my camera but uh the definite
1:00
weaker competitor would be the ASUS transformer I'm going to show you guys just the iPad as well as the Blackberry
1:05
side by side right now just so you can have a look and see what you
1:08
think it picks up a lot more detail in the background behind me even
1:13
imperfections in the paint on the camera and then the here you can see things
1:17
like the NC logo on my shirt and my earrings really pop out a
1:23
lot better on the BlackBerry so that speaks to both the camera as well as the
1:27
screen one of the other things that we noticed uh cameraman and I did was that on the
1:34
Hardware conu website which I'm just going to navigate to quickly here uh so
1:39
let's go to all and then browser and then Hardware conu on the Hardware conu
1:45
website uh let's go back to
1:49
home this color right here ah it came up
1:53
on both of them this color right here is closer on the BlackBerry as well as the
1:58
blacks being darker the white being brighter and uh this is an actual NVIDIA
2:03
package this is done to their spec I know for a fact that on on a properly
2:09
calibrated monitor it should be exactly like this I mean give or take cuz you
2:13
have a backl but from our observation I
2:16
really don't know if you'll be able to see it in the camera it's much closer on
2:19
the BlackBerry device versus the iPad 2 so I'm really impressed that and the
2:23
additional pixel density gives you kind of a similar effect to what iPhone 4
2:27
users have been enjoying for some time with the Retina display of a much
2:32
sharper overall image so thank you for checking out this little video on the
2:36
screens as well as the cameras of the
2:40
iPad 2 Blackberry playbook and the uh
2:43
Transformer actually one more thing I want to show you guys I'm sorry I'm just
2:47
totally uh I've got so many different things that I want to that I want to
2:51
demo so here we're going to bring up the multitasking we're going to open up the
2:54
hardware connect site let's go to the homepage and I just want to show you
2:58
guys the smoothness of the eyes as as a
3:01
whole uh with respect to browsing so here go go ahead step
3:05
back and I'm just going to take each one in turn and flip them from landscape to
3:12
Portrait okay so there's no animations on Android 3.0 but it's pretty
3:17
quick all right
3:21
Blackberry oh you know what I forgot to zoom out I'm
3:25
sorry there we go so the Blackberry you can see it is
3:31
animated oh yeah okay I got to hold it right straight up sorry I'm trying to
3:35
tilt it away from the cameraman so it's not really fair there you go so that's
3:40
more representative of what uh what we would typically see and then iPhone or
3:44
iPhone iPad everyone's pretty familiar with is excellent quick Snappy let's see
3:50
if it works like this too oh yeah see so it's a little bit smarter than the one
3:54
on the BlackBerry in that even if I'm holding it at an angle like this it
3:57
manages to pick up the correct Orient ation and then in terms of the overall
4:02
uis I mean there's going to be endless videos on topics like that but General
4:09
snappiness is excellent on the BlackBerry whether you're navigating by
4:13
pressing things whether you're navigating by scrolling between them all
4:17
that good stuff very fast very Snappy iPad everyone knows is really quick
4:22
whether it's zooming or moving things
4:25
around scrolling around switching between tasks all that good stuff is
4:30
very very fast and then Android has a little bit of chop to it I don't think
4:34
that's to do with the processor so hopefully it's something they can address um update wise but uh there you
4:39
go so we'll open something up here I don't even know what this is okay so thank you for checking out this video
