The challenges facing Research in Motion’s new PlayBook tablet in the enterprise market may not be as daunting as those facing it in the consumer market, but they’re troubling just the same. With few quality core apps, a fragmented app platform (QNX, Adobe Air, HTML5 and Android) and important features that require pairing with a BlackBerry to access, the device would seem to be a non-starter in the consumer market. Which is bad news when consumer preferences are playing an increasingly larger role in enterprise purchasing decisions.
