RIM had better get their act together and get the native PIM apps out before it launches. WebOS looks pretty sweet and as slick as QNX on the PB and has PIM very well integrated. I like that you can reply to SMS messages from the Touchpad (if you have a WebOS phone). WebOS is in the same boat as QNX though with the lack of apps so it may not take away much if anything from the 7" tablet market.

HP to launch 7-inch tablet in August according to report

HELLO.. Hello...hello... nobody here... nobody cares!

[mgm1979]

not gonna lie - got my eye on the touchpad, and the 7" variant is pretty appealing...especially with the cohesion we've seen demo'd with the new phones. If RIM doesn't get their act together with the new touch phones before HP gets the Pre3 and TP7, I just might jump ship...

the biggest problem of the 10"touchpad for me is the fat bulky design and its weight,if the 7" version will look as unappealling it really doesnt bother how good it maybe is.

Wrong section but coming back to the topic. I will wait for Touchpad 10inch version review and then decide.
But regarding the apps atleast Touchpad will have some of the important apps at launch for example- Kindle, Email,Time,Facebook,Angry birds and so on.

doez it bridge? with security?
doez it tether without plan?
doez it have a bb nameplate
if you own a PB, what are you planning to do with it ... use it as a sinker?
i have nothing more to say except i'm planning to do lunch with a troll
grass is always greener ....

Will it have a rear facing camera and HDMI output? The 9.7" doesn't.

No
No

but

is RIM going to be supported by you?
is RIM going to make money off the bb nameplate when the touchpad looks more appealing to regular consumers

the grass isn't greener on the other side, it is greener at this point. And yes I do own a PB

Except for one or two scenarios I think rear facing camera is totally useless.
HDMI is a necessity and Hopefully the 7inch version will have it.

Does Playbook have Email,Contact,Kindle,Time,Angrybirds apps.
Does Playbook have synergy, Touchstone and wireless keyboard.
Does Playbook have HP logo(HP is 5times as big a company as RIM is)
Does Playbook support Wireless printing.
Does Playbook support Google Docs and Box.net.
Does Playbook support touch to share.
I have nothing more to say except some people task is
to troll threads and write irrelevant comments.

Btw did Playbook OS copy WebOS, yeah it certainly did.

Just respect the competition folks, HP will be a big player in the world of tablets, and if they release the TouchPad it will be a huge competitor for all tablet makers.
The movies and previews speak for themselves...

I don't care if tablet X has that app and the PlayBook not, just as long my PlayBook does what I want, I'm happy.

In the end it's all about choices I guess, just like cars, I drive a Seat, others drive an Audi ...

All of your threads seem to be the same theme of putting down the PB and touting WebOS. Did you just join here to talk up WebOS? I guess we'll find out soon enough if the issue was Palm didn't have enough money to make WebOS successful, or it was/is just to late to the dance and is now irrelevant. I waited forever for Palm to get that unicorn to market then finally had to convert from PalmOS to BB. WebOS looks cool, but I don't see anything that gives it a leg up on Apple or Android in the consumer space, or RIM in the government and corporate space.
