Blackberry Playbook

[Shaz07]

Anyone jump on this yet? If so, what are your first impressions? How about battery life? Does the 7 inch screen seem too small?

Really thinking about getting this with it's Bridge capabilities and have internet tethered through my BB phone. If not this then probably a honeycomb tablet (Asus EEE Transformer), but that wouldn't give me internet on the go for free*. I know the App selections suck (until they get the Android app integration included) and the native email and calendar are not included yet, but will come soon enough.

Yes it's great that you have the iPad/iPad 2, but I'm asking about the BB Playbook, so no comments on your obsession with Apple please and thank you.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the Playbook... but I'll definitely be buying the Transformer next week.

That's my second choice, especially since I do use Google pretty heavily, but the fact that I can tether internet from my BB is a huge plus for the Playbook.

Money = Phone
Phone = iPhone
iPhone = Apple
Apple > RIM
RIM = BlackBerry
Blackberry ~ PlayBook
Playbook < iPad
iPad = Sucks
Sucks = DonkeyDick
DonkeyDick = Money

Its a fucking round ass world we live in.

You probably bought the worst BB ever made, aka Storm.

I have the Bold, and it's great, and now the bold is coming in touch and keyboard form which will be much better. Sure it's no iPhone, but it lasts me 2-3 days without a charge and get's the job done. I have an iPod touch to go to if I want the iPhone experience.
