Re: Defending my Playbook
I pretty much take my PlayBook everywhere with me. A constant companion, a loyal sidekick. However, I couldn't tell you how many times I have been asked "What is that?!" or oddly moreso, "Is that the new iPad mini??" In that case I just point out that it has HDMI out, which no Apple product has. But in any case, I love talking up my PlayBook and I agree that since RIM initially failed in marketing it, its up to the fans to spread the good word. :)
Re: Defending my Playbook
I've also been asked on multiple occasions what my tablet was, or if someone asked to see it, "where's the home button! how do you do anything!?" I've never been asked whether it was an iPad Mini or not because I'm very pro-blackberry and anti-apple. I own a second generation iPod touch, apple has made it impossible to acquire any of the apps, faceboo/twitter/etc due to an older software version, if your version isn't high enough you can't have the app, even an older version, so I downgraded to 3.1.3, and refuse to purchase a new iPod because apple refuses to make apps available to me. I'm disappointed that there's no actual Twitter for BlackBerry Playbook app, but the website works well enough.
