My advice is to test out a playbook. Amazing hardware and OS. Barely any dev support though. This should change, but not soon. I am hunkered down with an N9 for at least another year due to the community support, that should be enough time to see what Nokia does, and what Blackberry does. Blackberry's new OS is unix based, and it is utterly different from the crap they have right now. With Dingleberry support (rooting tech), you can do some cool stuff with the playbook, although I wouldn't trade one for my touchpad right now. I had some hardware issues with my TP as well, HP sent me a new one in trade with my old one. OC'd and homebrewed, makes me very happy with it. WebOS will hopefully be adopted by another OEM, but who knows.

Again, check out a Playbook, you will be pleasantly surprised. Don't buy one though! Not yet. Not until there is good dev support/homebrew community behind it.
