Anyone else find crackberry annoying so navigate on the playbook? I find that the way the ads are positioned on the page I'm constantly launching them as I scroll down the pages.. I find the playbook to be pretty sensitive to this (launching things a bit to easily lol)
I find I'm accidently picking ads and opening them up in new windows once in a while but not really on CB. I've gotten better as time goes. Like others have said try using pinch and zoom and double tapping.
I personally like it very much. As previously noted, being logged in helps quite a bit. Being a good capitalist myself, although the ads can be annoying, I don't fault them for making money.
This is flash for you... designed for mouse gestures only. Touching a flash component right away without scrolling will action it at the same time... hence popup adds.
I haven't beem having this problem ... so far (fingers crossed). The main problem I am having is when my keyboard just decides to collapse itself without warning. So I end up clicking on a link instead of a letter.

I also have probs with using the browser on crackberry. Besides clicking on adds its the page forward and page back that are really frustrating. Soooooo small. Like others have said, I still come back
I use m.crackberry.com on my PB. Occasionally switch over to full site for the odd post and to upload pics etc, but generally the mobile site for me....
Accidentally opening up ad links happens on many other sites, and it's a favorite complaint of my wife's about her iPad as well. It's an issue with the entire all-touch form factor, not just PlayBooks. Which all cracks me up because this is just one of several common flaws of the technology that's supposedly going to replace desktops and laptops. Ha.
I actually find CrackBerry frustrating on any given browser from time to time. Many, many times pages take forever to render waiting for one or more of the ad sites to load.
The thing I don't like is when I hit the BACK button on the browser, it doesn't refresh the previous page like on other sites. It used to do that but not anymore. It's not just on the PB browser, it's on others as well.
I've disabled image loading too and it works fine for me. However advertising is good to keep the site up and running without making the users pay.
I have to say that for some sites, like this one, I'd prefer to pay a nominal membership fee just to rid the experience of all the ads, especially on the mobile site. One ad in particular seems to drive my 9900's browser bonkers.
