Research In Motion (RIM) has announced a new product to compete with tablets like Apple’s iPad, and tons of other Android based tablets with their very own PlayBook, the BlackBerry Tablet.
Before introducing the specifications, I wanna raise some questions about PlayBook. They are following-
1. Will it run on 3G network in Canada as well as in USA?
2. Will it use Micro SIM card or Normal SIM card? If it doesn't take SIM card, then what'll be the medium to connect network??? CDMA chip?
3. Is it compatible with multi-tasking?
4. Will it support almost all type of audio and video format?
5. What will be the warranty duration from BlackBerry?
6. Is this good for professionals? or for college and school student?
7. How about the price?
8. It'll be given at a discounted price with 2 year or 3 year contract?
10. Is it unlockable like BlackBerry cell phone?
11. Will it work on CDMA network e.g. Verizon and GSM/3G network e.g. AT&T simultaneously?
12. Will it use MS office package?
13. What about BBM?
14. What will be the 3G/4G frequency? Dual band or quad band?
15. Is there any possibility to run android apps?
16. Will it connect with BES?
Full list of specifications are as follows:
1. 7-inch LCD, 1024 x 600, WSVGA, capacitive touch screen with full multi-touch and gesture support
2. BlackBerry Tablet OS with support for symmetric multiprocessing
3. 1 GHz dual-core processor
4. 1 GB RAM
5. Dual HD cameras (3 MP front facing, 5 MP rear facing), supports 1080p HD video recording
6. Video playback: 1080p HD Video, H.264, MPEG, DivX, WMV
7. Audio playback: MP3, AAC, WMA
8. HDMI video output
9. Wi-Fi – 802.11 a/b/g/n
10. Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
11. Connectors: microHDMI, microUSB, charging contacts
12. Open, flexible application platform with support for WebKit/HTML-5, Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Mobile AIR, Adobe Reader, POSIX, OpenGL, Java

My dream phone (Tilt) is on the way.... Can't wait! Can I have two dream phones? Xperia X1 is on that list.....
Sony Ericsson Xperia x1.
made by HTC
my dream phone.
look here:-
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x1-2246.php
Shift
The Shift, but with Vista Ultimante, and 160gb hard, - but HTC would have to make it so you can use it like a regular phone.............................
Other wise, the Tilt/TnTY II has done an awesome job, the only complain is i need some ability to do my graphics/audio editing "on the fly". The photos i do edit with two programs from the Tilt, but yet to find a good audio editer of that..... (use Adusity on the desktop at home......)
my dream phone is the iphone with 3g even without the 3g i love it way more than mytilt it does everything it said it would and more plus i can still install apps but i dont really need to too much why because most of the stuff i was installing on the tilt couldve been done on the iphone ie s2p s2u opea mini htc photo album big on screen keyboard its already their on the iphone plus the battery life way better than the tilts even when i would just leave it on edge

Actually, if they'll ever manage to really do it, they should just simply call it "The Tytn". Can't get any bigger than that... (as opposed to the "Tytn"... got the pun...? lol...)
meizu m8 sounds like a dream phone...
if they manage to finish it...
You guys dream small.
Since it's a "dream" phone I would go with the iPhone route with some not so small changes:
3Ghz quadcore inlel or amd proc.
2gb DDR3 ram @ 2000mhz
250 SSD + SD micro
Nvidia GPU that is actually a mobile desktop replacment of the 8800GT*/9800GT* (G92 series) w/512mb GDDR3 dedicated (for outputting higher res to monitor) upgradable through mini port (like the SD micro slot but for GPU's insted of memory)
HDMI out
Multitouch
WiFi a/b/g/n
FTA HD antenna
Vindows Vista compatible but allows for XP installation.
X-Fi sound 24-bit, 96KHz record and playback with full 5.1 surround through Optical S/PDIF
USB and 3.5mm sterio jack
1280x720 5" oled display. (over kill I know)
IR for remote control
Thumb print reader for security
Total control voice recognition
anti reflective screen
500nit brightness
10mp camera with flash and full motion HD recording @ 60fps
Blue Tooth
GPS
1/3 in thick and 100g
And the kicker...
Free with 3yr contract with respected service provider.
It will never happen for another 10-15 yrs or so(maybe never) but if your gonna dream you might as well dream big.
Cheers.
Really Dreaming.

You forgot a few things sprecker...
To really replace my phone, Gaming PC, Laptop, PDA, Mediagate, PVR, Still and Video Camerra, SatNav, ipod, PSP, xbox, DVD player, universal remote control, pay tv box, we would need just a few additional items to what you suggested, but not many.
A big amount of storage say 800Gb
For the unit to be able to act as a remote control, but also be remote controlled.
A series of docking stations for Office, Car, Lounge, Bedroom, Games room, I would imagine the device would have enough battery power to stay on if you ran from one station to the next. These docking stations could also have TV antena/Satelite/cable inputs for the on board tuner, and bulky items like a DVD player/burner, Keyboards, mouse, also outputs for the TV/Monitor, surround sound etc. Although all of these items could be connected directly as well if you got caught without the station.
Of course it would come with a series of accessories, like wifi gaming handsets, wifi mouse/keyboard, wifi/bluetooth stereo headset, 3D goggles.
If only it could make a cup of coffee, Now that is dreaming...

i tought they bought qualcomm?
Hello,
Regarding dual-band Samsung Galaxy Tabs correctly operating on 5Ghz/40mhz...
Is anyone seeing 150mbit (or better) with their Galaxy Tab using 5Ghz at 40Mhz?
Only respond if you have a galaxy tab, and you know that you are using 5ghz. Also please quickly review ALL of the following relevant information before attempting to respond to the above questions;
According to the following search info the galaxy tab supports 5ghz dual-band wireless-n, and the overcome rom v1.6.4 supports 5ghz wireless-n also.
"Dual Band Wi-Fi"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&cat=&meta=&num=&ie=utf-8&q=galaxy+tab+5ghz
"WiFi-N on the 5ghz band now works"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&cat=&meta=&num=&ie=utf-8&q=galaxy+tab+overcome+rom+5ghz
Additional info:
I am using a Linksys e3000 (dual band) router, and can connect at 300mbit stable link-speed (file transfer speeds are 15MegaBYTE/sec average) using a Linksy AE1000 USB adapter (with any pc or notebook) which I purchased to resolve similar (speed/streaming/transfer) issues with the onboard single-band 2.4ghz wireless-n adapter in another device I was working on.
I have both 2Ghz and 5Ghz networks and devices completley seperated. 5ghz is operating at 40Mhz (specifically wireless-n) only (automatic channel) and 2.4ghz operating at 20Mhz (wireless-g only) with a specified channel that is not being used by any neighbors.
I do not have any issues with connection, stability, or speed/transfers with any other N or G devices...
I can connect to the 5ghz (wireless-N only) network with the galaxy tab although it is not very stable. Speed fluctuates btwn 11mbit and 65mbit, and is pretty much bunk for video streaming (standard xvids or mkvs) via smb/cifs using MoboPlayer (and others).
Both video formats (xvid & mkv) play fine locally via (8GB class4) sdcard upto 720p. 1080p mkv (using ext2/ext3 on a second partition on the external sd) are completely unwatchable on (16GB class2) sdcard. For that reason and the flakey 5ghz wireless-N speed which effects the (unwatchable) playback/streaming of even small 30 minute fast-motion (action and/or animated) xvids almost makes me want to return the TAB.
I am running Overcome 1.6.4 rom+kernel (froyo) and have no issues other than the battery life seems to deteriorate rather quickly (and it seems to generate more heat) while using 5ghz for long periods.
Has anyone here successfully connected at 150mbit (stable) or better (using 5ghz) with their Galaxy Tab (P1000) yet? And if so, was there anything extra that you needed to do to accomplish that speed and/or stability with this device?
Please review all of the above before answering, thanks.
bump. Anyone?
Couple of questions for you first.
1- How are you measuring your speed?
2 - You do realize that SMB/CIFS sharing is not the ideal way to stream video? Thereis much more overhead in you bandwidth versus say using a streaming server (ie Plex) or using a DLNA player/server to stream.
3 - The MKVs that you're streaming, are they all 720 or are some 1080? Do some have DTS? Both the 1080 and the DTS will cause playback issues streaming as both need alot of work done to be processed correctly by the device.
For streaming video I have found, after much testing, that anything that has DTS or is high bitrate HD content will cause thetab to stutter. I find that remuxing to an MP4 with AAC 2 channel audio and your streaming problems will disappear even using SMB.
Think of it this way, we don't have 1080 resolution nor surround sound, why even strain the device to process it. I use a Plex setup with an AppleTV using dual band N with a G signal as well and never have issues even over 3G. My router is a Linksys E3000 with Bell Fibe 25 down with 7 up VDSL internet connection.
Lemme know how you make out.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
I just got a Linksys E3000, and I can't seem to get my Galaxy Tab to see the network at 5 GHz at all.
The E3000 is simultaneous dual band, and it's connecting fine to the 2.4 GHz network.
Did you have to do anything to get it to just connect?
Hey slimdizzy, thanks for responding to a question with a question.
If you pay more attention to the post you might notice at least one of your questions was already answered prior to your reply.
Correct me if i am wrong but the overhead in CIFS/SMB is minimal/insignificant in respect to my request/questions.
There is also no need to implement other technologies (client/sever software) to accomplish the task of streaming using pre-existing technlogy that has been used for numerous years over much less powerful (or capable) hardware or infrastructure.
The question is NOT concerning what technolgy to use, but rather what connection (and link) speeds people are getting over 5ghz Wireless-N, with this specific device, so if you cannot answer the question there is really no need to respond.
Thank you.
Again unrelated to my request/questions. (manekineko),
You might want to read the original post again more thoroughly.
See the second paragraph after "additional info" in the first post. Also notice I mentioned a rom/kernel that supports 5GHZ Wireless-N specifically.
Bump from the dead.

I've been looking for a near-perfect solution to mirroring my Samsung note 3 but to no avail. Here's my usage scenario and criteria below:
Usage:
- play various video formats via Diceplayer
- reply to WhatsApp messages
- surf the web
- take notes with Evernote
Criteria:
- TRUE plug-and-play capability after 1 time setup ( there shouldn't be a need to adjust settings after the dongle is inserted into TV)
- no lag/latency problem
- TRUE mirroring capability (WYSIWYG, no limitations on what apps can or cannot be used on my Note 3)
- Big plus if it can also work with my wife's 5S
- Big plus if it is future proof
any suggestion please?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Since you have a Samsung device, I recommend Samsung's AllShare Cast Wireless Hub unless you also have a Samsung TV that supports the function (or upgrading to a Samsung TV with it is an option). I got a new open-box one recently off eBay for about the price of Chromecast.
Basically you plug it into one of your TV's HDMI ports using the supplied slim HDMI cable or your own, plug the supplied MicroUSB cable into the supplied power adapter (or another MicroUSB wall plug that outputs 5V at 450+mA), then switch the TV to that input.
You'll get a screen with some device information and a pairing ID. On your phone/tablet, you go into Screen Mirroring, and when you get the list you long-press on it to use Passkey mode (some devices may support the button mode - mine does not) - plug in the passkey on screen and it pairs. After that when you engage screen mirroring it'll automatically try to reconnect.
(Side note: I believe this is how Chromecast setup should work - requiring a challenge-response that ensures you can see the connected TV...)
As far as performance goes, it feels about the same as Chromecast screen mirroring on my Galaxy S3. AllShare Cast might be a tiny bit faster, but it also seems to slightly affect my WiFi network performance, as WiFi Direct is essentially running an ad-hoc connection to the hub.
Also, you need line-of-sight with the hub. Its WiFi signal is not as powerful/sensitive as a normal WiFi router/AP.
There is a little bit of overscan (edges cut off) that I couldn't figure out how to get rid of. It's not in my TV settigs as my Chromecast is on the same TV input via HDMI switch, so I could see the difference flipping back and forth.
Other than those minor things, I think AllShare Cast works pretty well. If Chromecast screen mirroring didn't work for me, I would be using it. Actually my wife is still using AllShare Cast since her S3 is still on 4.2
Unfortunately I don't think anything's going to work on your wife's 5S, well, nothing except an AppleTV... but I could be wrong.
And as for future proof, there really is no such thing. Especially in the video world. Because almost everything appliance-like is built minimalistically and relies on a hardware decoder, once a new CODEC becomes mainstream, all the old devices get left in the dust.
