    I was at the eye doctor today and I was using my PB. The doctor walks by and says, :Oh the Playbook. How do ya like it"?
    I told him I loved it and would not be without it. And since the upgrade its even better.
    He asks to have a look at it so I said sure.
    He taps the calendar icon, watches it come up and says.."This thing is way way to slow. I'm glad I have an IPad". Hands it back to me and walks away.
    Seriously...you make your whole judgement on the PB by tapping the calendar?

    If you switch to the front camera, you could take the pics yourself.

    Next time you go, note on your pb calendar "iDork appointment" and note to this entry "my doc technologically is i-blind and a dork", or "how an optometrist cannot really see the difference between a pb and an ipad"
    Then have him take another go on your calendar and ask him. "see???"

    ???? The iPad has YouTube. The PBs YouTube can't even upload a video, see your videos you uploaded, check your favs or any of that.

    Oh that's right, your gonna tell me use the browser for that. Then why have an app for it in the first place.

    I love my PB, but come on have a serious answer or at least visit this guys optometrist.

    The native PIM stuff is kind of poky, truth be told -- both Messages and Calendar. I'm sticking with my 9810 and Bridge.

    Hilarious! They just keep coming! But seriously, don't [Blackberry, Android, Windows users] badger Apple fans for defending their products just the same?

    I would have asked him how Flash enabled websites work on his iPad.

    BTW, I have an iPad2 and prefer the PB for my mail. Far fewer taps and swipes to read my emails.
