I like to browse amazon, newegg, tigerdirect and other online electronics stores to keep up with prices and see new devices that don't get prime-time media coverage.
Now that the fire hd has been on the market for about two weeks I went to amazon to see what people are saying and read some feedback.
I was shocked to see that only 45% have given the Fire HD a 5 star review and 34% had given a rating of 3 stars or less.
Many reviewers are saying that the original kindle fire was better.
Now for the the PlayBooks ratings
52% of the PlayBook reviewers on Amazon gave a 5 star review and only 26% had given a rating of 3 stars or less for the PlayBook.
So Amazon buyer's think the PlayBook is better than Amazons self proclaimed "New Normal" Kindle Fire HD.
The Playbook, though getting long in the tooth, is some really terrific hardware. OS 2.1 is very good, while incomplete. If the software were there to match, RIM would have a real winner.
^^ you know you can switch apps by just doing a bezel swipe right? Might be worthwhile to show that you don't always need to go back to the home screen. good job nonetheless!

Watch till the end, shall we? You'll see just that.
I did the swipe up so people could see which app I was leaving/moving to and that there was always something playing (1st the video, the the video store and finally the podcast) no matter what I was doing.

Glad to see people in Brazil like the cranberries LOL. See I watched it to the end
As long as the number sampled is statistically significant the percentages apply.
Nice try though.
Right on.
Moreover, we know only a fraction of the consumers that own a device bother to share their opinion, so it is safe to say most PlayBook users are happy campers.
CB may not give that impression because most of the time, people come here looking for help.
My Playbook is a steaming pile. I would hardly consider this a victory for the Playbook. But I guess you guys would take any bone being thrown around here, especially of late.

No more than naysayers will take any opportunities to badmouth the device.

I'll take it off your hands for a steaming pile. I'll even pay for shipping.
But keep in mind pb has 662 reviews in 1.5 yrs and hd has 428 reviews in 1.5 month?
Besides, I would define "victory" as sale volume and profit, not review.
I thought the OP's point was customer satisfaction, not device sell through... But I see your point.
Say, come back in 6 months and let's see if that number is six times bigger.
Anyway, it is a victory.BlackBerry devices have been criticized by being out of touch with consumers needs. Positive reviews show RIM can in fact deliver a good user experience. Not that I ever complained about my 9780 on that. Better hardware and apps would have done it for me.
