    I'm glad they made an app for the PB, but I'm disappointed that:
    1. It has limited reading content unless you are a paid subscriber.
    2. I find the App to be extremely slow and non resposnive to 50% of my touch gestures. Not as a fluid as some of the other apps out there.

    Anyways since its a Free app, everyone should check it out

    For me, it locks up immediately. It is an android app and those just don't work well on my Playbook. I avoid them.

    This is great news. I love this magazine and enjoy listening to the MP3 version on my commute home but I love to see these guys supporting the Playbook.

    BlackBerry is just getting better and better.

    So far this app runs much better than the side loaded Android app I had, which tended to freeze up on me. A most welcome addition, IMHO.

    I had to go back to the android sideload for one major reason:

    offline reading doesn't work on the native app. As I don't have a BB smartphone, the app is pretty useless without an internet connection. At least the android version downloads the entire magazine which I can read during my long commute.
