Biggest issue: it's laggy and unresponsive. Compared to an iPad it's very laggy. Compared to android tabs & phones it's about equally laggy, but that is still unacceptable.
Side note: crazy that it took android 4 years to get the lag out, now finally with ICS it's been fixed.
Screen: Thought I'd be all over the 7" screen for portability and ergonomics etc. But... It's actually too small for browsing. Jobs was right, you need 10" for a tablet. Otherwise screen is gorgeous.
Gestures are cool, but they went too far. Should've stayed with dedicated back/menu/home/search buttons AND added only the swipe up gesture for making multi tasking easy. Having to figure out how to go back in certain apps is pointless when Android and BB have dedicated back buttons. Can't beat the Back button, it's ingrained in our heads in everything at this point. Plus as bb users, it's part of the system. Why exclude it on PB?
QNX has some strong points, multi tasking being the biggest, but otherwise I can't say I'm a fan at this point.
Appworld is insanely laggy and destroys the user experience completely.
IMO you're better off buying an iPad or wait for an ICS tablet and take the hit on the difference. PB is barely adequate for casual browsing. Screen size kills it, lag is just a bit too much, and ui takes too much work to accomplish the basics. PB has big potential, but that's not gonna happen for a long time...
