Blackberry Playbook in Rural China

With my weekend shoot moving into the more remote towns and villages of China, and the lower-standard accommodations and all, my Playbook continues to show her unique capability of fetching both my mails and web pages like this post in the temperate forests nearest my shoot location – a condition where even my Macbook Air fail to keep up.

This adhoc trip to this exotic location is costing me a whopping USD600, with a dedicated guide and vehicle thrown in, together with an hour return flight that would otherwise be a tedious 11-hour train ride. But above all, it’s the real, life shots I hope to bring to my community, where hopefully bring some value to your planning, if you so choose to visit it too.

It’s not rocket science, but simply an appetite to go further and beyond the destinations people dream of paying a visit with my Nikon gears.

And that’s where equipment such as a BlackBerry PlayBook becomes a vital communication tool, to me.

Best Digital Photo Album – Blackberry Playbook

You’ve got to hand it the Blackberry team for their Playbook (OS 1.08 and above) product that they have bravely launched in 2011. It’s name should rightfully be named “WorkBook” as its only commendable feature is still to allow me to work with my emails and BBM realtime, while on a high-speed train from Beijing to Shenyang at 260km per hour.  

But lately, as each travel trip turns longer and more mentally taxing, I have found that it does shows my photos pretty well indeed. And that’s partly due to the the high pixel density (aka PPI) of her 7” screen and accurate colors. And I kinda love that aspect, apart from the fact, it still allows me to inch forward in the SCI-FI/HORROR instance of Dead Space. 

Let’s get the upcoming OS 2.0 be that icing on the cake!
