With the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet hitting UK stores today, we thought it would be helpful to pit the two tablets against each other in a tech-showdown.
There can be only one slate at the top of the tablet pile; does the PlayBook have what it takes to knock the iPad off its lofty perch? With pricing and storage relatively balanced across each device, we focus here on breaking down the key tablet features to see which tablet is worthy of your cash.
Size and Design
The first and most obvious difference between the two tablets is their size. The BlackBerry PlayBook is a 7 inch device with dimensions of 193 x 130 x 10mm and a weight of 400g, while the iPad 2 is a 10.1 inch tablet with dimensions of 241 x 186 x 9mm, with the top-spec 3G model weighing a heavier 610g.
Apple have always had a strong eye for design and the iPad 2 is arguably their crowning hour - it's incredibly sleek, looking especially "sci-fi" with its new white bezel. Whereas the iPad 2 has a physical home button on the bottom of its bezel, the BlackBerry PlayBook has no buttons on its front side, making for a very slick and smooth front face, even if the black boxy design of RIM's unit is a little uninspired overall. The tiny power button on the PlayBook is a chore to find though.
Winner - Tie
While we prefer the look of the iPad 2, there's much to like about the portability of the PlayBook. This one comes down to personal preference then; a larger screen that's visually more engaging, or a smaller tablet that's easier to carry around with you.

Processor
The second generation iPad joins the dual-core tablet fray with its inclusion of an Apple A5 1Ghz dual-core chip. Though we've seen games like Infinity Blade exploit the new power available with the A5 chip, the original iPad was so zippy that it's an incremental update at best.
Likewise, the PlayBook uses a 1 GHz Cortex-A9 dual-core processor, which again results in a very slick, lag-free user experience.
Winner - Tie
Intro:Not much in this one. With both platforms relatively closed, you're unlikely to be able to push the tablets beyond their limitations, meaning that both processors are more than sufficient for running apps and the video formats open to them.
Operating System
RIM chose to adopt the relatively-niche QNX operating system for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Much like using a BlackBerry phone, QNX focusses on multi-tasking and gesture-based controls for quick navigation. It's a clean and simple interface with lots of room for customisation as well as a smart notifications bar.
With the forthcoming iOS 5 update fixing the notification problems that Apple's mobile devices usually inflict upon their users, iOS is now pretty much the perfect UI for a tablet device. A large, easily browsed grid system with room for App folders, what it lacks in customisation options it gains in simplicity, elegance and instinctive controls.

Buat folder untuk menampung file-file yang diupload misalnya folder images.Dan yang perlu diperhatikan folder tersebut sebaiknya diletakan di folder tempat di simpannya skrip-skrip apliksi upload.
Skrip form_upload.php
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="upload1.php">
File yang diupload : <input type="file" name="fupload"><br>
Deskripsi File : <br><textarea name="deskripsi" rows="8" cols="40"></textarea><br>
<input type=submit value=Upload>
</form>
Skrip upload1.php
<?php
$lokasi_file = $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'];
$nama_file = $_FILES['fupload']['name'];
$ukuran_file = $_FILES['fupload']['size'];
$direktori = "images/$nama_file";
if (move_uploaded_file($lokasi_file,"$direktori")){
echo "Nama File : <b>$nama_file</b> berhasil di upload <br>";
echo "Ukuran File : <b>$ukuran_file</b> bytes";
// Masukkan informasi file ke database
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("pintar");
$input="INSERT INTO upload_file(nama_file,ukuran_file,deskripsi,direktori)
VALUES('$nama_file','$ukuran_file','$_POST[deskripsi]','$direktori')";
mysql_query($input);
}
else{
echo "File gagal diupload";
}
?>
Keterangan skrip
1.yang perlu diperhatikan ketika mengirimkan file adalah method dari from harus POST dan tambahan entype=”multipart/form-data”.
2.move_upload_file(file_sumber.file_tujuan) adalah salah satu fungsi untuk mengupload file.Ada juga fungsi copy(file_sumber,file_tujuan) dan fungsinys sama, yaitu untuk mengupload file/copy file.
