BlackBerry PlayBook Teardown: Peeling back the tape on the blue antenna wire

Maybe for the same reason Apple made their 1984 commercial. People want and should have choice without a big brother to decide. Not everyone wants a Mercedes either. Also, there is no such word as alot it is a lot.

What nonsense. Macs are consumer items and contain the same parts as any other PC. And they are made in the same factories. There is nothing better about them and, when it comes to business grade laptops, they are positively inferior as part specs change unpredictablyon the same sku and at a dizzying rate. Have you ever looked inside an HP or Dell server. That qualifies as first-rate: quality parts, beautiful construction, fine engineering. Consumer products are consumer products are consumer products differentiated mostly by marketing fluff for which Apple fans seem to have a weakness.

Apple may be the Mercedes Benz of Computing, but Audi, BMW, and Jaguar have their 'versions' too... in some ways superior, in some ways inferior. In either case, choice is good for consumers.

Hi Guys,

Can you show me where is this playbook WiFi antenna located at motherboard?

Is it the black wire located at the right top which we can see also others 3 antenna?

Kindly revert asap. TQ guys.

Not sure where you get your information, but no, the Blackjack wasn't a Skype device. It's a GSM quad-band and UMTS dual-band device, one of the first to use simultaneous voice/HSDPA technology for high-speed data transmission on the then fairly new AT&T 3G network.

Thanks Fritzpk for the background info

FYI - The Blackjack is a "Skype" type device. It works on VoLP. Vonage, the company that pioneered the use of VoIP. Now, companies are developing ways to allow people to use voIP on popular smart phones such as the Motorola Q and the Samsung Blackjack.
