Fantastic as a stand alone unit and even better when hooked up to a Blackberry handset. Highly recommended. Not too sure why it still gets such a hard time from tech journalists, notably Engadget. Seems to be "cool to kick RIM". Ignore them. This easy to use, has many features and fantastic apps being developed all the time (+Android apps)
RIM may not have the largest number of apps compared to Apple or Android, but if you want a solid web surfing experience, easy access to email and a decent media player, it can't be faulted. The current price reduction makes it an even better buy. Would prefer not to have to charge it every day, but I think battery life is fairly typical for this type of device. The build quality is excellent and there are some real bargains to be had used on eBay. Very happy with mine.
One major problem about the Playbook as far as I am concerned - the FONT SIZE. Default font too small and couldn't find any way to change it. I can read stuff better on my Blackberry phone where I have set the default font to a large size. So, nice looking tablet, reasonably priced, easy to set up and get started, lovely clear images, but let down by lack of choices when it comes to reading written text.
Excellent for business usage, have to pay for the best apps, liked the way the OS worked where you can have multiple apps running. Very good build. Power button a bit small and recessed. Limited apps but there is / may be a android app convert program around, have not found it yet. Still great for normal internet access.
Sleek, fast, great user interface and soooooo much cheaper than an iPad. Apps - not the immense range of others but all of the key ones are there. The Browser rocks - flash support is fantastic for BBC and ITV sites. eMail client is great and bridge interface with a BlackBerry gives moblie browsing wherever your are. 32 GM of memory means that I pack it with movies and the screen resolution is Ab.
