iPad 2 vs. BlackBerry PlayBook browser battle!

As part of his BlackBerry PlayBook review, CrackBerry.com’s Kevin Michaluk put RIM’s new tablet browser one-on-one against Apple’s iPad 2.

When we put the PlayBook head to head against the iPad 2 in a browser shootout (see below), we saw pretty comparable page load times but did notice on websites where there were flash-based advertisements present, this would slow down the PlayBook by a few seconds while the iPad 2 would serve up a faster loading static image. Disabling flash evened out the load times.
