Just curious is it safe to shop online security wise with the PB?

Most Definitely.

Unless your Wifi is tapped.

I've used my PlayBook to do Amazon orders numerous times, and it was easy-peasy!!!

Are you talking about the Bridge communication? Isn't that Bluetooth? Not the best I would have thought, but haven't heard of BT being intercepted. Have they?

[Donnee]

as long as youre on a secure connection (not a public/unencrypted one) if anything its more secure than a pc/laptop

one of the plus sides to there only being about 5 playbooks sold is that theres no real market for viruses, security through obscurity and all that...

just take the usual precautions and you'll be fine (check for phishing etc)
