No tablets are just water down laptops.Playbooks been great for me for and the female guests and for a lay in day in bed.The form also helps greatly to be able to put it down and cruise about the house 1 handed.The browsers been great for me only time its sucked was when i was in a hotel connection sucked thats what messes up the browser poor internet speeds.
There's plenty room for improvement on the PB.But for generic tablet buyer the imporvements needed is only on the playing side of things games,movie watching that kind of leisure type stuff its coming but generally tablets are not ready to replace laptops for power users anwyay.
But its defo you disspaointed.Im more than happy for what I paid for I finally got female guests to shut up with ''Im bored talk'' and distrubing me during football and as I get to editing files and reading online.I know once the 10 gets pushed out and bbm is on there this things gonna go up a notch greatly.I hope RIm dont mess up the price and hike it to a silly amount in future the price has been a key point to this doing well if they set the price just right it will be good once the 10 is in on a PB.
Im very happy with mine.
I have been to the Netherlands lately and it served me very well at the Hotel because I didn't want to carry something 'big' around. I'm still thrilled for OS10.
My PlayBook does exactly what I need it to. It's perfect.
Still loving mine. I use it extensively every day, unlike the HD iPad sitting in my office drawer.
Best $149 I ever spent. Don't travel with a laptop (BB mini keyboard). Bridge works like a hose (BB9550). Best media server (HDMI)...Lot's of people willing to buy these on eBay and pay more than they were going for on clearance at Staples US. Once I get a music gateway, I will add that to the list as well.
"A couple of quid" won't cut it. It's a great, and priceless item for most. So I'd doubt you'd get anywhere.
I'm not disappointed at all. I use my PB everyday. And I got it since day one. I said before and ill say again, all the apps that I need are there and I use them a lot.
Hopefully you'll come around, if not I'm pretty sure that you will sell it really easy.
After 1 year, I am still loving it. I already did mention on another thread, it is a personal opinion which tablets you use. PlayBook, IPAD and Android tablets all serve different people. Some better than other in different aspects.
I have had my PB for about 3 months. I never expected much, but I find it a high quality unit. I also have the keyboard,case,travel charger etc.
The apps that I use it for are good (eReader, marine Nav). It is fine for email and and OK for basic web use. But it is no substitute for a laptop for most normal computer uses. Nor would any tablet be. If I am at home, I use laptop for most things. But when travelling I will use PB for quick check of email or Google look up of something. Or maybe check sports scores. Sometimes as VOIP phone. Definitely as eReader at night.
I bought a to-do list app. But really, I can't see preparing all to-dos on PB. Much better to prepare them on laptop, but have capability of editing or adding to them on PB when away from base camp. This can probably be done with right app.
I wonder how many on this forum use their PB to read and type messages? Maybe a subject for a Poll ;) My guess not very many.
It could turn out that tablets will die out just like Netbooks and PPCs once people learn their limitations. Maybe smartphones and tablets will morph into one. Size of present smartphone, but when opened larger tablet like screen.
What you posted could have been copied and pasted from a review written a year ago. It might have been true back then, but it is completely wrong today. And with only 3 posts, I think you're a troll.
I hate to be one of the "Skype" whiners.....buuuuuut....I wish the damn thing had skype. I'm also concerned about BB10 not having skype and this notion of, "don't worry you'll have BBM video"
Yeah, that will be handy seeing how....oh.....ZERO of my friends have BBM. So then I'm told, "hey! great news! You'll get FaceFlow!" Wow....really? You mean I'll get access to 400,000 users instead of more than 200 million....promise? LOL
Other than that, I like my Playbook very much. No Browser issues or anything mentioned above....oh, I do wish there was a better way for the bookmarks to work on the browser....you can't rearrange them or anything without some long stupid "work around" I'm tired of work arounds....
My playbook has been perfect. If I could change anything it would be a sd card slot. I find new uses for the playbook all the time.
What the heck does number of posts have to do with anything??? I post rarely; but read these forums often.
Have been doing so for years.
Hard to classify someone as a troll when, I think it's fair to say, the reaction to the original posters basic premise has been mixed-
I don't find this to be a big issue. I save bookmarks to homepage and then file them all in a folder and sort alphabetical. Works great, every time I go to use web, I just open up folder and jump to the page I want. If in the browser it's easy enough to swipe back to folder and select another page.
Anyone disappointed with your PB can kindly send it to me :)
I can't wait till I can afford to pick one up. Put it in a stand up case, bridge the BB to it, who needs a laptop anymore? :beer:
I use tinyCam Monitor to remotely view cameras at work. We use a GeoVision setup which has the Java web interface, but tinyCam gets a JPEG feed meant for mobile devices. It's 1-3 FPS but good enough to see what's going on.

Try going into browser options a disaster turning java on. I think the default is off.
Could not disagree more with OP. I use my PB daily as does my wife and many others I know. It works fantastically and I've been able to find pretty much every application I'm interested in. As for support from iOS and Android device, there's lots of it and much more coming with BB10.
Suppose it depends on your needs....i'm more than happy with the browser,shopping,youtube,catch up tv,using it as a media player and streaming through the hdmi....not big into apps,i've downloaded a few.....never bought it for games,i have a ps3 for that..lol....tbh i wouldn't have liked to have paid the release price for one but for the two 64s i bought at �129 each here in the UK i'm happy enough with what the playbook can do.
The fact that there is a thread called this TWO YEARS after release of the device says a lot about how it has stood the test of time
Ok.. I'll give you that one. I hadn't thought of it, as I usually do that kind of thing from my phone.. but you're right, that's an option that should be there.. minor, but true.
Likely being addressed in BB10 I would think..
Just what I was saying. I love mine, use it all the time. I am satisfied, not completely, because of those little things.
Lol very funny the picture :)
My playbook replace my Ipad. I work on the road and my playbook comes with me every day it also replace my laptop. If you need help ask on this forum. People are great here they help me to get through my Ipad addiction :)...... Now I have another problem I'm a crackberry.
