The HTC Company has given everything in the tab their company is known to provide in their android processed handsets which will make a customer satisfied with the functioning of the tab and can have a good experience.
The Blackberry tab is good choice over HTC tab if one looks in way of resolution and the HD video recording but the blackberry tab misses the main element which blackberry is known for ie the tab does not support push mail or BBM. For accessing push mail one has to have a blackberry cellphone and create a blackberry bridge which kind of makes it worse than other tabs. The blackberry is based on old dual core processor and also has a low battery backup.
COMPARISON
On the whole HTC flyer is a better tab if one looks for everything in the tab and not focuses on single things like the playbook is better in 1 field ie the HD video recording and the quality of secondary camera. The HTC tab even yet to launched in the country is estimated to be around Rs. 25000 and is cheaper than the playbook whose variants prices range from Rs.28000-Rs.38000 so that also proves why one must prefer a HTC tab over a blackberry playbook. And so HTC evo view 4g is a good option to spend your money on.
