    RIM had better be announcing something better than April 10th, that's after the iPad 2 goes worldwide distribution!

    RIM just took one **** of a beating. Announced and released within a week. Now that is how you get it done! Liking the Black/White color variants

    I like RIM's style....announcing it 6 months ago and it's still not out. Doesn't everybody love that?

    The only positive i can see out of all of this---

    RIM--forced to further lower the price of the PB..... late to the party...most if not all specs are already matched... 1st generation-- good luck...

    Pulling for you Rim...

    I doubt they could keep the $499 price tag with a display like that

    Bottom line is..the Playbook coming out after iPad 2 is just a huge disappointment imo. Good god RIM..hyping this thing for 6 months is ridiculous. Alot of those who were waiting..are possibly jumping ship now. And by the time it is hitting shelves..people will be like "Who cares..I got the iPad 2!"

    Whoever does RIM's marketing and PR should be fired imo.

    Ipad3, which could still probably beat cellular PB to market.

    That Garage Band is tempting.

    I can't lie the iPad2 tempts me and it's released the 11th, my bday is the 13th.

    ETAuch only 8 tracks. The app music studio allowed more tracks than that.
    I like putting all my instruments on it's own track, even drums, snare,bass, hats, etc on it's own.

    if it was smaller and didnt have ios i'd have a hard decision. but i'm liking the touch bezel, qnx, and size of the playbook more.

    any company other than Apple is SOL when it comes to deciding when to release. the Xoom released before the iPad 2, but of course then Apple dropped the hint about the event today so alot of potential xoom buyers probably waited until today.

    if RIM released before, they'd be in the same boat. release after, they're seen as trying to catch up.

    in the end, it'll be the merits of the tablet itself that will make it a success or not, not when its released.

    I was hoping for an iOS5 with revamped UI. I like the 7" size of the Pb but the 10" doesn't bother either way I go I want to put the device in something like a leather day runner and will carry either of them in my hand. I won't be sliding it in a pocket.

    I'll decide after the PB is released. I'm still stuck on which device, iPad2,Xoom(wifi) or other HC tablet & PB

    Ur awesome *thumbs up*

    I said considering, so before you start crying like a little baby because someone is considering an alternative to the playbook, learn to read.

    It was a no brainer for the playbook for me but Apple did what I wanted in a playbook, however will always lack flash and other things the playbook has. It's an option and it's exciting to look forward to get to play with both devices. So grow up a little.

    How quickly these people turn against the PB, it's amazing. I'm staying put, my decision will come the day i can touch a PB and find out the things it can really do for me.

    Question? where is the info that the ipad is coming out a week from now. What I have read is that it will be out March 11 not in a week.
    iPad 2 Event Coverage (developing) | TechnoBuffalo
    This is from techno buffalo and it clearly states March 11 for release and March 25 for world wide release. So announced and out in a week in not the truth.

    I never considered an iPad.. Until I saw the white one. :/
    that + a pink smart cover would be amazing. Trying to resist the urge but it's so hard!
