- Very fair point. I wouldn't use 533 apps! But the ones I would use, do not exist.
No twitter client - Seriously, RIM - wake up and smell the coffee. Come up with a Twitter client, how many millions of people have Twitter and there is no client for it. I do not see why I should have to pay for this. And I don't see why they can't release an app for this. The browser does it, I know! But the browser won't give me notifications when I'm not on the twitter website.
EBooks, Fair enough - Kobo is on the PlayBook. They have a lot of titles, and hopefully the Kindle will eventually come too. But I think most titles on Kindle are on Kobo. If I'm wrong - please say!
No native email client - I believe this is coming?
Ebay - I suppose the browser will do fine. Once the email client comes, that will suffice for notifications.
Skype - would be nice to come, but not sure if it ever will.
IM - I believe IM+ is coming, excellent!
I suppose the PlayBook could do for me, and I would buy one. But what I worry is that the lack of apps will never change. I hope this is wrong as eventually QNX will power the BlackBerry phones so the apps should start to cross over!?!
And for the record, I love RIM and BlackBerry.08-15-11 03:04 PMLike 0 -

I just found an awesome one last night and couldn't sleep after I did - Vevo! It rocks, and it's free. Kept me up all night.08-15-11 06:35 PMLike 0 - Very fair point. I wouldn't use 533 apps! But the ones I would use, do not exist.

The chinese knock offs in the same price range might have some functionality like PIM , email etc that playbook does not have, but the playbook fares much better in stability and smoothness that you will enjoy if you go for the playbook than these.08-15-11 06:39 PMLike 0 - Hi,
But the thing that I will use most will be the apps, and it would appear that the PlayBook just doesn't have much apps. The ones I'd like would have to be:
Kindle - unless there is a affordable ebook reader on the PB.
Skype
Windows Live Messenger - some sort, doesn't have to be official
Twitter
Evernote
Ebay
Sukdoku, Spider Solitaire
What are you're thoughts?!
Thanks!

Where do people find all this time to watch movies, twitter, facebook, play games and read books anyway? I must be working my **** off to support everyone's leisure time in the new socialist America because I don't have a minute to spare.Last edited by blackjack93117; 08-15-11 at 07:25 PM.
