DQ News: Win a BlackBerry Playbook – Part of SMBInfluencer 2011

We’re delighted to announce a contest giveaway of two of the new BlackBerry Playbooks.  The Playbook is an exciting new compact tablet from BlackBerry.  We’re giving away two 16 GB Playbooks as part of the Small Business Influencer 2011 nominations.

About the BlackBerry Playbook

The Playbook is BlackBerry’s new tablet, released less than 2 months ago.  It is under a half-inch thick, and has a 7-inch display which CrackBerry.com says “is small enough to fit in many coat pockets, purses, handbags, etc., making it much more portable for out-of-the-home use than Apple’s iPad.”

Tech review David Pogue of the New York Times says the Playbook “seems worth a look. The tech world’s been hyperventilating over this thing. It’s called the PlayBook, and it’s a seven-inch touch-screen tablet….”

The Playbook uses WiFi to connect to the Internet.  It is not necessary to have a BlackBerry smartphone, but if you do, there is a unique Bluetooth connection called the BlackBerry Bridge that allows you to display your BlackBerry smartphone screen on the Playbook, too.

If you’d like a shot at winning one of these hot new Playbooks, read on….
