I agree with the Hulu and Netflix comments (Skype too), but Amazon and eBay? Are you kidding me? I don't have "apps" for them on my laptop - they work exactly the same way on the Playbook. I use Amazon all the time, it's exactly like the desktop version! Why an app??
Here are shortcuts to new Amazon and eBay apps:
Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more ; and
Electronics, Cars, Fashion, Collectibles, Coupons and More Online Shopping | eBay
Perhaps I should charge $.99 for the above "apps", I think I pretty much duplicated the desktop experience.
I swear there are people who'd buy snow in a blizzard if Apple told them they needed it.
