Are there any other Best Buys that are showing the PlayBook?
How does the PlayBook feel, try out different apps and tell what you think. Especially the browser.

It feels great. It looks great. The screen is beautiful. The browser is awesome. The thing is responsive. I cannot wait for the 19th to actually get mine.
The transition from landscae to portrait works great.
As for more locations, Future Shop on Ottawa and the one by Conestoga Mall are also doing demos. Conestoga location today, Ottawa St (Sunrise Centre) tomorrow.

Also, tethering and bridge do work simultaneously.its not one or the other.

Thanks Cozmik! Great info. Thanks for the picture too. This sounds dumb but I'm loving the icons. It's looking more and more polished everytime I see it.

If you're on CDMA (Verizon), you cannot tether and bridge simultaneously. Is it possible for you to verify this?
