Playbook. Everyone in business needs a great playbook. Like a football team has a play book it is actually a clever name that has business appeal and consumer appeal. IMHO

Playbook clearly has dual meaning my view. I mean a playbook is a book of strategies to help you succeed. Or is a book u play with lol Whether businessman or college student, everyone needs a good playbook. Maybe I only like the name so much bc I was so relieved they didn't go with blackpad or surfbook.

I agree and don't get me wrong, I like the looks and specs of the thing. That
name is just hellaciously juvenile. It makes the device seem like less of a
powerhouse from the word go.

Of all the STUPID names that could be given to a RIM device this has to be
high on the list.
The name of this device evokes something from Hasbro that was designed to
amuse a 4 year old while mommy is making dinner.
Seems like a great device. The name is absolutely horrible IMO.
Discuss.
I hear a lot of serious deep rooted dislike for the name of the Blackberry; dare I say, PlayBook. What I have not heard from you is what you would have named it.
It's a bit odd. It evokes "notebook", a laptop, while being a tablet, a category that displaces it. And "play" in an enterprise device, again, jarring. But it sounds cool.
I like the name PlayBook. Whoever came up with the name was pretty clever.
When I first saw the announcement by RIM the first thing that across my mind is football game plan and my friend was telling me it's also a business term. I never associated with a toy but I guess it's just the mods view and not everyone see it the same way. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.
playbook
n 1: a notebook containing descriptions and diagrams of the
plays that a team has practiced (especially an American
football team)
2: a book containing the scripts of one or more dramatic plays;
"the 1963 playbook leaves out the whole first scene"
3: a scheme or set of strategies for conducting a business
campaign or a political campaign; "they borrowed a page from
the playbook of the opposition"
Weather it's a business term for strategic planning or a football game plan these two passage have one thing in common and it's to SUCCEED!!! Love the term.
Guess I'm too much of a football freak to object to the name "Playbook". I agree with other posters here. Denotes a plan of action. Some type of well laid-out plan of action. PlayBook is sassy.
