Blackberry Playbook Video Output

    When I joined the smartphone set I chose Blackberry because of family members using them. So, when I decided to join the tablet generation, and BB had just finally released version 2.0 of the Playbook operating system, I chose the 32 GB version. At half the price of an iPad it was an easier call than it might sound. Rosetta and I have been together about 24 hours now. I love her. She isn't perfect but I know that as the days pass I will come to cherish her more deeply.
    But this post is about video. Specifically my first video shot on the Playbook using the front facing camera (one of two on board) that records stills and video, the latter at 720p. I've uploaded to my new Viddler account since Veeple warned of imminent demise. I miss the interactive elements Veeple offered buy delight in Viddler's device sniffer, that serves the right file format to whatever device asks for it. As I write the file is being ingested wherever Viddler's servers live. I'm going to have to offer a reduced size here because of limitations on the width of the blog page.

I've confirmed that this link presents a larger screen size. I am anxious to see how it plays on the Playbook via my wireless high speed connection, but I have to publish it to get there, so off it goes.
