While this original response to swap for a 64 gig PB was reasonably imaginative and amusing, subsequent similar responses were not and, as I have previously stated, not entering into the spirit of the poll (it wouldn't have required a great deal of intelligence to realise this). It also will have produced an inaccurate result.
I have now amended the post to outlaw this possibility but realise this is rather like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Peace.06-10-12 02:19 AM - I understood the spirit of your poll and voted No, I'm keeping my PlayBook. There's no other tablet that interests me. I even brought the iPad home from work for a week and it has barely been used, even by the kids.While this original response to swap for a 64 gig PB was reasonably imaginative and amusing, subsequent similar responses were not and, as I have previously stated, not entering into the spirit of the poll (it wouldn't have required a great deal of intelligence to realise this).

They are wrong.
I doubt they even considered the Playbook. It looks more like another Android comparison to me.
What I am curious about is, if you feel this way why have you got a Playbook?
The rest of us knew what we wanted and bought it. You also bought it but are now telling us we are wrong to like it...06-10-12 06:11 PM - Interesting that you are prepared to make a stand against one of the most well respected tech sites in the world with an argument as facile as "They are wrong".CNET has a list of what they believe to be the best 7" tablets.

I bought my PlayBook when it first came out for �380. I made a big mistake- I believed the hype and believed RIM would deliver. There was a lot of hype in those early days and I also had a BB handset at the time. A true CrackBerry fan. One of the biggest and most expensive mistakes I have made in a long while. My PlayBook is currently on eBay with a starting bid of �50. Technology depreciates but not to this extent. I have lost a lot of money on this lame duck (though to be fair not nearly as much as RIM has). I am sick of waiting on RIM's promises. At least I will be out your hair in seven days time, assuming someone actually wants it for �50.
Funnily enough, someone on this forum advised I sell it soon after I bought it as they had more foresight than me and could see the app situation would never improve. If I had listened and sold it before all the big price markdowns, I wouldn't have been looking at such a big loss. Ah well. What's one less customer to RIM when they have so many?Last edited by ODAAT; 06-10-12 at 07:08 PM.
06-10-12 06:26 PM - Hmmmm. I wonder what your statement would have been if the PB is hailed to be my first choice of the 3 OS tested instead of it coming second? At least I tried all 3 and consider to have an objective viewpoint instead of being subjective. Doesn't the consumer has a right to make a choice?There is no spot for "I'm a spoiled arsehole and have one or more of everything already except a Windows 8 tablet"
If that is the Canadian definition of "spoiled arsehole", then I be it. LOL Sorry to have a different viewpoint than others.
BTW, I will try out the Windows 8 tablet when they become available.Last edited by rcm1301; 06-10-12 at 07:50 PM.

- Maybe. If you read through the whole thread, I was the only one who mentioned my whole 'inventory', so I took the hint.
However, iPad is due to work issued device (not by my choice), Xoom for my daughter to mainly watch movies, play games and 2 PB's for me and my wife (we both have BB phones also). But after having to administrate all 3, the one I would choose if only have one choice is the Xoom. (but will prefer 7" format, so Galaxy Tab probably) So 'using' all 3 type of devices making me spoiled, then I am. Sorry. Sorry for also liking the Xoom more than PB.
Funny the OP said the Genie would not "It offers no judgment or opinion that you should or otherwise". The same cannot be said about some responses on this forum.Last edited by rcm1301; 06-10-12 at 08:11 PM.
