One is Andoid one is Blackberry OS... "which is faster" is probably the last question that should be on your mind. Either way the Playbook is of course higher spec, as a look at the product pages would tell ya.

Yes, even comes with a USB adapter for OTG.

Thanks
Yeah I realise they are different o/s but my reasoning was behind the Android App player coming to the PB would give it similar functionality. Key apps I would like to access would be the Synology range of apps (particularly DS Cam) and Sonos. If there was any likelihood of the PB running these when the OS2.0 is out then I would prefer that one.

Supposedly the GPU is a MALI400 MP!
you sure it's not the Mali-400, i.e. without the MP.
Almost got one of these off Ebay but went with the PlayBook instead, was concerned that if anything went wrong with the device there would be no support or if there was you would have to send it back to China and it would take 2 months to get back if at all.
Very happy with the Playbook and hopefully will be able to run a lot of Android apps soon when the update comes out end of feb.
For a budget Android ICS this does look nice, just lack of support was to worrying for me!

Came with a US one, but was supplied with an adapter. You can also charge via a mini USB connector, although that only draws 500mAh maximum compared to 2 amps from the proper charger (which has it's own socket) so takes longer.

The SOC used is called the Allwinner A10:

Supposedly it is meant to use the MALI400 MP:

Of course it could be a typo,so maybe the OP could check their tablet??

any more info on this tablet ? are they coming supplied with market installed ? is it worth getting the aurora instead ?
You have to sideload the market but it's pretty easy, there are plenty of scripts out there to do it. Not tried the Aurora yet, got enough tablets for now.

can you point me to any guides for doing that plz ? , im a total noob where tablets and/or rooting is is concerned

My Aurora arrived today.
Screen is very good, though obviously cannot compare to my SGS2, but then coming in well under half the cost of a Galaxy Tab 7.7, it's more than acceptable.
Stock ICS runs like a dog though, so this evening will be about flashing and scripts to get the most out of the hardware.
£150 altogether for priority post and a 2 year SquareTrade warranty, and I am very happy with it. Does the comic and video thing just as I wanted.

yawn
Yet the info you're looking for is at the top of the Google search results. But of course you did check the internet first to find some info yourself and do a little reading up on the subject you know nothing about, right? Right...

I just flashed mine with the Essential Clean Rom (0.4), and it gave me root and access to the new market.
Was really simple too, just downloaded the image file, and the LiveSuite software, follow the instructions on GadgetFreakz and it was done in like 5 minutes.
I might do some screen comparisons tonight between it, SGS2, Desire, Panny S20 plasma and Iiyama TN monitor.
