the sync with the phone and enterprise features are gonna be the killer apps here, so long as it has a good word/excel/pdf/ppt viewer.. it'll fly off shelves like no body's business.. kinda makes the oddly underspeced bb torch seem a little more relevent, since most of the hard working would be done on the tablet. this is more of a game changer than apples attempts

The PlayBook is looking great... the Galaxy Tab has got some serious competition! Many similarities spec-wise; similar form factor. Exciting times!

Blackberry Better do something or they will become extinct like Nokia. Their phones suck overall.

So THAT'S what Blackberry will do with their prior QNX purchase. With the QNX microkernel, that's enough geekery to have my attention.

Yet another tablet with capacitive screen..
So..... is it a reasonable assumption that this 'tablet revolution' (the pocketable ones and also the bigger slates) has been powered by the capacitive screen?
They took off after the multitouch OSK and smoother UI/UX made possible by capacitive displays.
Obviously it's not the sole reason, but it's a significant factor.

I'd be interested in seeing some reviews when it gets released!

It looks pretty impressive, but the name sucks. "PlayBook"? What is this, kindergarten?

I want to get excited but just cant. Based entirely on my experience with the blackberry "experience" on their devices. The apple cant fall far from the tree right? I fear it will be unintuitive, and just no fun. Remember the RIM's first touch screen device?
Hardware is very good though. 7 inch is also a very good size. I still cant defend my reasoning for buying a tablet. I usually buy laptops sized at 12" so the tablet wont really save me a lot of space but it can come in handy. Probably most whilst travelling or just on the move where you want to enjoy media without fidgeting with a 3.7 inch screen on a phone.
