Tried Playbook....too many flaws.
Returned it for my $199 back, sold my old iPad 1 for $250 and bought a new iPad...even at $500 theres a reason it sells about 100,000:1 against play books....and no, its not marketing.
My 9900 and a new iPad are a great combo for traveling.
I know its a playbook fanboy site, but theres a reason this thing has been an epic failure (unbelievable native pdf, no Skype, no netflix, barren wasteland of apps) yeah I know...apps don't matter on a tablet, huh?
RIM should stick to solid phones.

I do not disagree with you that playbook launch was very poor and thought through. I do not dispute with you that Playbook sales are no where near of Ipad.
However this happened due to due CEOs being to cooky, not acknowledging the competition and their strengths. Going head to head with established ipad without native email was just extremely poor decision. (even though i love bridging a lot)
For the same reason Blackberry smartphones are not doing well. Now having said that a lot of old management is gone and lot of fresh, new thinking are in. RIM has improved tremendously Playbook from original OS1.0 and the best part is RIM is not done yet !
2.10 beta is superb and Android apps do feel more native then ever now.
RIM needs to work hard to get OS10 right and the new blackberries and then you will see that Playbook sales will pickup. Playbook is superior device to ipad imo it just need more positive reviews. As to the app world i think it has good selection of apps and skype and netflix will come to playbook eventually. I honestly have life and i am not going to spend half of my time to browse through hundreds of thousands of apps which essentially do the same thing. I rather have smaller selection of the best apps [so yes i would like to see skype etc on playbook]
overall i would not replace playbook for ipad because i do not like apple and its enclosed system and excuse my language ripping client on every corner. i prefer sideloading and seeming less intergration of playbook and blackberry phone.06-09-12 09:51 AM - I don't think i'd swap it..since i've realized i'm not really a tablet person and don't have much use for them..my phone does it all already and is MUCH more portable.
Would I buy one again though? Doubtful..but that goes for any tablet.
EDIT: On second thought..I probably would swap it for a 64GB iPad, and then turn around a sell it for a nice price. I'd then use that money to perhaps buy a used 9900 AND a new Nokia Lumia 710 (or used 800/900)! Then I could have the best of all the worlds...and use whatever phone is suiting my mood that day
