besides lack of apps,my biggest complain is its weight, Apple is trying hard to get ipad thinner and thinner, why playbook cannot do that. I hope their 4G model can be very slim and stylish. not just like a brick
I feel if the PlayBook gets any thinner it would be awkward to hold and use. I think it's the absolute perfect size just the way it is. Even with a skin, it isn't too thick.
Really?? It's already (albeit ever-so-slightly) thinner than my 9930, and my 9930 is quite thin to begin with. I suppose since it doesn't have tapered edges on the back, it may just seem thicker...maybe

Geez, I think I have heard every possible critisism of the play book now,
well , maybe not.
why RIM fans are so defensive why don't think it is a feedback instead of criticism. People still give feedbacks because they still care,otherwise, just move on and buy another tablet. Blind love is the enemy of RIM,especially considering RIM's situation now. you cannnot simple sit there and say, PB is perfect, do nothing.

The new iPad is also heavier. So by your standards (that RIM should do exactly the same as Apple) the new 4G Playbook will be thicker and heavier.
I'm confused by your logic...
no confusion. first off, Ipad 3 is still thinner than Playbook. second, Apple is trying to get IPAD or even macpro thinner and thinner. Third. even because technology reason, IPad 3 has to be a 0.03 inch thicker than IPAD 2, but that doesn't mean apple won't improve for their new IPAD.

How much friggin' thinner is it needed? I mean really come on. Is the current weight that big of a deal? Is it a deal breaker? Feeback is one thing but this is stupid...the thing is already thin. Umm hey Rim, can we get the PB3 as thin as dental floss or as thin as tracing paper? Cool, thanks.

Again your statement is wrong Apple didn't try to get the Ipad 3 thinner. They made a choose to increase the A5 chip with the better graphics of the A5x chip which made the ipad 3 thicker than the ipad 2. This was a technical choose to improve graphics for the retina display. Why are you seeming denying this?
if feedback is negative it is criticism, if these forums are full of negative feedback criticism what does that do to someone who is thinking about buying a playbook and comes here to get some info before buying.
End of the day, I guess you cant please all of the people all of the time.
I don't like the Playbooks 90 degree corners....it just seems weird I hope RIM will improve on this as well as the perfectly flat screen....its just not on !
Plus its difficult carrying this less than half an inch thick "brick" around

You worried too much) if you think it is wrong,say it. why care how other people think of it. They have their judgement and nobody is stupid. or might be you are RIM marketing staff? just kidding

I am not really sure whether it is their choice and they have to. I read contradicted news that some one said they chose so,some said it is their plan B.

It doesn't matter the A5x chip is there and it makes it thicker.

<<not true>>

I actually like the Playbook size and don't find it a problem. I use a case.
I do notice that the tapered edge of the iPad makes it LOOK thinner, although at only 0.030-inch thinner, it really is only a tiny 8% thinner.
I like the overall dimensions of the PB - I can even hold it in one hand walking thru the airport, as I did today.
