Dec 05, 2011 0:55:00 The Character Builder will not work on the blackberry playbook. The playbook uses the new blackberry OS designed by QNX. The new OS is not capable of running Microsoft Silverlight applications and probably never will. The playbook can not even do BBM or email until next year, Q1 or Q2, which is usually the only reason to buy a blackberry.

The compendium might run on a playbook.

Any Windows 7 tablet will be able to run the compendium and all DDI applications.

Dec 05, 2011 18:35:09 Thank you. I found out rescently silverlight isnt really supported by any tablet. There are some work arounds but only with the droid. Atleast i found a website tracker which allows me to atleast view and track my monk and witch. Thanks so much for your time. Incase your into playbook the beta for the newOS is available in beta which allows for droid apps to be installed so its not to long for silverlight on playbook. Probably full release in q1 but closer to q2.

Dec 05, 2011 21:05:05 Greetings,

There are tablets available now that will easily run the DDi content. They are all Windows 7 based tablets.

At BestBuy you can sort the tablets by operating system. They have a few available and the ViewSonic is what I have heard good things about.

Right on already bought the playbook. Really cheap and its hardware is way better then most other tablets. I also read on the blackberry main page silverlight is actually gonna be on the next OS for playbook, and it has flash player. So when you actually view a webpage your viewing a pc version of it, and allows for tv streaming which the ipad doesnt have.

What tablet do you use if you dont mind me asking?
