Looking to buy a Playbook
I have never been a fan of any tablets, however the Playbook price got really, really low lately. So I was reconsidering the option to buy a Playbook. At work, paperwars are getting worse almost from day to day basis. While my Bold 9900 can handle some basic PDF needs to counter most of them, having a Playbook with the large 7" screen would be nice to counter the paper chaos.
How does the Playbook performs in terms of PDFs? I am quite satisfied with PDF performance of my Bold 9900, and I guess the PB should perform even better.
Can the Playbook open multiple PDF files or are you still limited to have only one PDF open? A quick search got me to an early 2011 Crackberry thread where people stated the PB can only have one PDF at a time open - however we have late 2012 now and maybe the situation improved?
What about battery performance, what kind of battery life can I expect from a PB, let's say compared to a usual 9900. Does it barely get through the (work)day or maybe can it even last two or three days off the charger?

I don't see that either. Young people want what's cool. What's cool is what is most talked about; what everyone else has.What is most talked about is rarely a blackberry. Unfortunate but true. Of course there are a lot of kids who keep up with technology and always go for what everyone else doesn't have. This is where BB10 can do really well. As for playbooks, retailers go where the money is and the money is in the pockets of young people. So if they aren't selling playbooks, that is the reason why.
