About 3 inches.
Yeah, i spent my last penny on a useless 48 gb (64-16). At the time of buying i thought 16 gb would be too little. So i tried for 32 gb, bt it wasnt available. So i bought the 64 gb. Now i realize that i dont have anything to fill it with. If i fill in movies i dont have a good video player to run it. If i fill in music, i dont have a good music player which can create playlists and support equalizers, etc. Browser is ok, still the experience is not at worth the $299. No interesting apps whatsoever. some of them that i have are all android apps. I wish businesscat2000 would release the brine ios emulator. It might change things big time :confused: Next year I'm gonna go for a laptop. So my plan is to sell this to some by fooling him by telling that its a great device :D :D :D . Then use that money for a better laptop. My last hope is not BB10. My last hope is that someone buys my pb.
It's a "free" country where folks can wear ripped off jeans and choose iPads or Playbooks.
I never expected this thread to turn sour like this...
I'm shocked, I tell ya, SHOCKED!! :eek:
Well I'm not surprised that this thread brought out all the trolls and iPad users (the latter enjoying their 10" devices so much that they spend all their time on a PB site telling us how stupid we are). Is anyone else surprised?
The only thing that surprises me is that the thread hasn't been closed yet.
In my opinion, it's a waste of time to worry about why one person prefers a given device. Use what works for you and don"t feed the trolls. :)
Not to nitpick, but this isn't a PB site. It is trivial, but understanding that small point will help people understand that it is possible to be a BB user/fan AND a person who is not smitten with the PB. Way too much angst with regards to trolls (I dislike the term), real and imagined.
Not liking the PB does not make one an enemy of everything RIM. :)
I completely agree with your point on preferences.
There were loads of PlayBook commmercials for the first few months after it came out, but at the time key features were missing (e-mail, contacts and calendar), so it was all for naught.
The biggest difference I have noticed is that Apple owners are confident in their purchases and don't have to make threads comparing themselves to Android/Blackberry owners.

Actually, this portion of the site is, indeed, dedicated to the Playbook. My error in saying "site" when I meant "forum".
At no point did I suggest that one couldn't be a BB fan/user and not like the PB. I'm not sure why you leveled that at my post.
If you don't like the term "troll", don't use it. I didn't coin the term but I can't deny that there are some who have participated in this thread with the sole purpose of slamming the PB and its users. To me, that defines "troll".
That said, I also can't deny that the entire purpose of this thread was to incite exactly what it did.
Wow, you really took my post as being negative.. Which I didn't intent it to be .. So let me try to clarify
I always thought that people who had an iPad were sheep who grazed in Apple's toxic pastures while people with a Playbook were old timers who constantly talk about the good old days............Oh ya and Android tablet users won't shut the up about the latest hardware and the super awesome and customizable software.......hold on a second.....the Android user just downloaded an app and got 16 viruses......I love stereotypes.
Sorry, but a did want to address that just because something is simple doesn't mean it's efficient.
If I want to build a house. The simple thing to do is to hire a knowledgeable construction worker and pay him to build my house. With one person doing it, this would be simple however, it would take forever to get built.
My alternative would be to hire a contractor with means to several workers at different skills to built the house. This plan is more complex but more efficient because the house would be built much sooner.
I'm sure you can extrapolate my meaning to one-button touch and multitasking.
Why do you guys wish every thread gets closed down? If these topics dont interest you you can simply choose not to read them. However since you read this im hoping you have a take.
How would you describe the average iPAD user vs PB user?
They are both happy.
This is what most people think too. I dont know what it is about different device user groups, but they all fit their stereo type to a T.
I own both, as well as Android tablets. I know I am not alone in owning both (and Android tablets). As I have said several times on this forum, I use my PlayBook more than the others combined. Why? Because the PlayBook is my only 7" tablet, which is the perfect size for quickly accessing the internet, and it supports Flash. Could I personally get by with just the PlayBook? No. Why? Because I need video Skype, use both Netflix and Hulu Plus while out of the house and when I am away on business (and need the larger screen for optimal viewing), and use a ton of apps that are not available for the Playbook. I also have to admit that when the Ipad mini hits the market, I will most likely purchase...and I bet I end up using my PlayBook far less (but likely still will use it a ton because it supports Flash).
I think theres more happy ipad users thanPB users. Reason being, ipad users have an ipad and they dont really care what it does, because they know it could potentially do the same thing as their buddies ipad- for them they just play angry bird and surf the web. PB users are a bit unhappier becuase they want their device to do more than its currently cappable of.
ipad users hopeless
PB users hopefull.
But ignorance is bliss...
How did you interpret what I wrote to mean that I "wished" it to be closed? :confused:. I merely commented that I was surprised that it hadn't been locked. It really is that simple.
As for my "take" I thought I'd also made that pretty clear as well.
This is spot on. Were in the same boat I have more than a few options and i still use the PB most. Im also going to pickup the ipad mini. I have the perfect excuse too becuase my ipad 2 is outdated and its too big for the little ones. The wife should belive this... I will probally have to sell the ipad 2 first to really get her approval. :) hehe
Ok, so your take is, dont worry about it? or you dont bother worrying about it.- Kinda sounds like you either have never thought about this and dont have a take. Or, you have thought about it and decided to stop thinking about it becuase you didnt want to worry about it. In either event I respect your lack of op (even if its a op to not worry).
When I say "Wish", it doesnt mean you have prayed about it or submitted something to make it happen. I simply mean you along with a few others are quick to jinx and say something will be closed or locked. Im new to CB but i sense they must be closing down threads left and right on here for people like you to keep saying that.
iPad owners = true Hipsters
Playbook Owners= Posers....
Jk Btw

I'm pretty sure that there are more business professionals using the iPad. You may want to try a different angle.

Nothing it is just a matter of choice
Definitly! Jim had too much on the go, trying to buy an NHL franchise and all. Mike, well.... I got nothin'. lol
That's okay when you're at home. But I bought my PB to take it travelling and so look for some kind of laptop funcitonality. And it delivers, sort of (skype, where are you?). I just wish it did so with fewer glitches. Improvements happen, but gawd they are long in coming and always come up short. Really, my main beef vs. an ipad (which I don't own but I do have an ipod) is that the latter 'just works', and when you're travelling that counts for a lot. No, make that A LOT. No glitches that send you running to the net for help to unravel. No lengthy reboots to get the email back on track. All the apps you need. So I travel with both, and use the PB when it can do the job, and haul out the ipod when the PB isn't up to the task for whatever reason.
