As we know there are alot of web posts on why other tablets are better than the Playbook or why the Playbook is failing. IMO the main reason others choose to go with an Android tablet or Ipad(sic) boils down to the availability and range of apps. We already know how well speced the hardware is and the unparalleled multitasking abilities of the Playbook. My first tablet device I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7inch which I found to be good especially due to the range of apps available. PB was my second device and I absolutely loved it (currently my tab of choice), the only major drawback is the lack of support from major software vendors that have Android/Ipad apps. I tried the IPAD 3 64GB and got rid of it after 1 week.
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread listing what we'd like to see in the OS software as well as third party apps. I know it's bit late with the BB10 release around the corner, but hopefully RIM and the software developers will look at a list such as this and it will lead to the unleashing the PBs full potential and boosting it's apeal and popularity.
I've started by listing what I'd like to see and as this list grows, time permiting, I will periodically compile a list on this first post with the suggestions in order of popularity.
If a particular suggestion is already available and the poster is not aware of that solution please suggest it with the full solution/app name and it will be amended as "already available" on this list.
