Default Outage Apps for Playbook?

Does anyone have a link or a list of available/free Playbook apps due to the outage? This should be so obvious to find but for some reason I am having a hard time.

Any help is much appreciated.

Did your Playbook experience a Service Outage? I wasn't aware that there were any Playbooks that connected directly to the RIM servers.

In other words the compensation did not include Playbooks? Can someone confirm that?

The official press release did not exclude any specific device, it just talked about the bb app world.

It seems that SwitchBeach may be correct. there is no confirmed media reports, but common sense would think that since it affected blackberry phones, the free apps would be for smartphones, not for the tablet. I think there was a list on CNN.com out of all places. Though it would be an added gesture if they had included the playbook.

They're in AppWorld, under the "Thank You Gift" category. And No, there isn't any for the PlayBook...

It does make sense to not include the PB. Thanks.

Playbook's use of bb's data via bridge was never promised to be 100%
So if your phone was out and you couldn't use bridge that doesn't mean you lost connection between your playbook and RIM but between the phone and RIM so really its not RIM's fault that you were not able to use your playbook. plus who doesn't have wifi.
Therefore no compensation for playbook owners.

PS:You would also understand how it logically makes sense if you are a rim fan boi.
