For those of you who’s interested in the BlackBerry PlayBook here’s an unboxing video of a retail unit of the device.
We like that you get a a rapid charging travel adapter, a neoprene case as well as a micro HDMI and a micro USB cable in the box. We don’t like that the case is ugly and you don’t get the rapid charging dock as well.

Unconfirmed: iPad 2 coming to Singapore April 22, Malaysia very soon after
Update: Information has surfaced to support iPad 2 launch in Malaysia on April 29. Read all about it here.
We have unconfirmed information indicating that the iPad 2 will be on sale in Singapore this Friday April 22. Although we labeled this piece of news as “unconfirmed”, sources that we have spoken to have given strong indication that this will be the date that the iPad 2 will go on sale in the island state.
Besides iPad 2 on April 22 has a nice ring to it.
The April 22 launch of the iPad 2 in Singapore gives us a strong clue as to when the device will be launched in Malaysia. Although people in the know that we’ve spoken to are tight-lipped about when the iPad 2 will hit Malaysia, we were able to narrow down to launch date to the following three based on the information that we have:
- On the same day as Singapore — April 22
- One week after the Singapore launch — April 28
- Within the first week of May — May 6
Your guess is as good as ours but one thing is for sure, you’ll get the latest information on the iPad 2 right here on SoyaCincau.com
First Impressions: BlackBerry PlayBook
The BlackBerry Playbook has been generating a great deal of interest here in Malaysia and that’s not really a surprise considering that the BlackBerry brand has a bit of a cult following in this country. There are people out there who would not even consider anything else other than a BlackBerry device. And then there are others who use other devices but will never give up their BBs for things like instant messaging and email.
You can chalk the success of the brand here in Malaysia to the popularity of BlackBerry’s proprietary BlackBerry Messenger service. Or it could be that most, if not all, BlackBerry users prefer a tactile physical keyboard over a virtual replacement. Whatever the reason may be, there are a lot of Malaysians out there that are just waiting to get their hands on the PlayBook.
The PlayBook is unlike any device RIM has ever produced. It is the company’s first tablet device and with it RIM debuts its QNX platform. So does this first attempt to enter into the tablet by RIM a worthy contender? Can the PlayBook live up to its hype? Would it be able to woo non-BlackBerry users to jump ship?
Head on over to after the jump to find out. This is our first impressions of the BlackBerry PlayBook.
