- Since i have z10 i use playbook less and less. Thing is that nothing on playbook works as well as on Z10. Z10 has superior browser, playbook browser for comparison is painfully slow. When browsing the internet with z10 i do not feel much difference with my Firefox on pc. It is really good experience. Then playbook. Well it sucks. Android app integration completely sucks compared to z10. Frankly playbook feels old. Z10 is pretty much perfect. The Playbook app store feels like Wasteland compared to all these new apps coming daily for z10. Playbook has a lot to catch up to.

Either hold on til the next RIM tablet comes around or get another tablet. Plenty out there now that are fairly cheap. RIM themselves have seem to lost interest in the playbook even.05-29-13 05:57 PMLike 4
- OP I have a sincere suggestion.
If you seriously losing whatever about the PB, I suggest you go and whine in one of the 20 or so existing threads, or better yet. go to one of the competing forums and enjoy the attention.
As it stands, your tantrums are hardly original or interesting or derserving the attention you seek here.
sorry, bud, but i had to say what i think.05-29-13 06:01 PMLike 2 - Since i have z10 i use playbook less and less. Thing is that nothing on playbook works as well as on Z10.

- If the PlayBook no longer suits your purposes, there are many other tablets in the same class that you can choose from. I suggest the iPad Mini, the Nexus 7, the Kindle Fire HD, or the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. All good tablets in their own ways.
Good luck!05-29-13 07:47 PMLike 0 - I've only just recently started to use the PlayBook after leaving it at home for a few months whilst I lived away for Uni. I didn't miss it much but now that I'm back and I've used the Z10 for atleast 2 months, I can see how the PlayBook needs to improve in so many ways. However, the screen size and the full Web compatibility gives it the edge. I prefer using this in Bed as opposed to my laptop, it's just so much convenient.
Now, if only I can wirelessly connect PB to Laptop like I can do with Z10, that would be great. I'm sure whatever update BBRY releases will be worthwhile.

Heck, if BB10 doesn't come, I myself may consider moving on. Or not. The PlayBook is quite good as it is... Just want a better PDF app and an Office suit (although Docs2Go really helps).anon(6038817) likes this.05-29-13 08:35 PMLike 1 -

Anyway, I can't say I agree with most of the points you made, the app selection yes, the playbook app store definitely pales in comparison to the BB10 app store, but the browser is fine in my opinion.. that's not to say I won't be happy when it finally gets the BB10 browser.. of course I will.. and it's not to say that I too am not using my playbook a lot less then I used to, I am.. I still use it, but almost only to watch movies.. it's not because I don't find my paybook does things well though, it's just because I find my Z10 does them well too, and it's already in my hand.. with my 9900, viewing a website or trying to open a spredsheet was physically painful.. everything I opened on the tiny screen would frustrate me, then I would go grab my playbook and use the 'open on' command.. now with my Z10, I open it on the screen, and I'm happy with it, so I don't have need to grab my playbook multiple times a day like I used to, or any other tablet for that matter.. the playbook still does everything I need, I just don't need it to do that much anymore.
When BB10 comes to the playbook later this year it'll have the updated browser.. it'll hopefully get a lot of the BB10 apps.. I'll certainly like those things.. but will I use it more then I do now? maybe a little.. but it's just not a daily occurrence to carry it with me anymore.diegonei likes this.05-29-13 08:39 PMLike 1 - I only use mine as an alarm clock or to play music. I was thinking of ditching my old kindle and buying a new one with backlighting. Then I thought, hey I'll just use the kindle app on my playbook, only to discover that there still isn't one. Come on. Really??!!!05-30-13 12:21 AMLike 0

Back on topic - kindle sideloaded is how I've done it.Carterbits and eddy_berry like this.05-30-13 12:41 AMLike 2 - LOL same here. My playbook is just now an alarm clock and a music player since ive got my Z10. Still hoping for BB10 to come to playbook though.05-30-13 09:55 AMLike 0
- To those b1tching about the stock browser being slow (which it is) - try OrigamiBrowser in our Apps section. The dev has done a wonderful job on it and it's free for now at least...it's still in development and features are being refined/created. It needs side loading at the moment but is a native BAR file. When it's released on BB World you won't have to do this any longer but it could become a paid app but it's worth every cent in my opinion. Its fast and has a lot of great features with more being added. So turn that frown upside down and get back to browsing on the PlayBook properly - it can use Flash too or toggle it off...

Gaming is much better on the PlayBook than the Z10. Many time while playing a game on the Z10, I will find myself minimizing the app unintentionally (smaller screen with big thumbs). While on the PlayBook I have never had that issue. Web browsing on the PlayBook compared to the Z10 is a big difference, the Z10 is faster but the larger screen make a difference. We can do a comparison all day about the Z10 and the PlayBook... I wouldn't care which will win I am keeping both and I am still enjoying both, Z10 is the PlayBook Mini-Me, so what the Z10 is lacking the PlayBook make up for and vise versa...

- If you're in the UK I'll give you �50 for it. It would do as a bookreader for my wife. Or she could watch her crochet videos on YouTube. Or read her emails. Or stay up to date with Facebook. Or listen to web radio or mp3s. Or watch tv shows and movies.
