- Then you need and android tablet. Playbook is made for blackberry. Either adapt to the playbook tech or adapt the tech to suit you. One tablet will never be able to do everything, compromises have to be made.

Every other tablet allows you to use all the features without having to have a certain smartphone attached to it. The PB really IS for BB users. So far we have heard you will need a BB in order to use the email app. I should not have to use webmail just because I do not have a BB. They are losing potential customers if this is the case.

Besides, not having a sd card could have something to do with security in the corporate environment, bes can control the memory card on the blackberry, not on the playbook. Who knows, it's just a guess.

Yes no other tablet integrates with a BB, but no other tablet needs to integrate with a smartphone to use email, calendar, etc. You are losing basic features because you don't own one of their smartphones. That could help them and hurt them at the same time. It can help them by making people buy BBs if they really like the PB, and it can hurt them if people expect basic feature like this without and extension device.01-07-11 10:22 AMLike 0 - Ah, don't forget that the Playbook's OS and UI is the vanguard for future handsets. QNX/TAT's expertise will make it's way (I suspect SLOWLY) from the PB to the handsets. RIM has already announced their intention. Now it's a waiting game. IF you liked the UI of the ill-fated Pre, you'll likely LOVE RIM's future UI, as that's essentially the same paradigm.01-07-11 10:23 AMLike 0
- I guess you can say that, but until the PlayBook, no smartphone had this type of integration with a tablet.

Now just because some features are not included "in the box" it doesn't mean they will not be available in the form of an app. How hard will it be to make them?
Perfect example, the logicmail email app for blackberry, emails without bis or bes. They'll pro ably port it to playbook. It's not the end of the world.

- well i had always assume it would have one, i went to BB website and it made no mention of it or "expandable" memory. I have to go look at pics from the CB article again01-07-11 10:33 AMLike 0

- Getting to the thread title, I always had a simple question about the naming of the BB tablet. "Play"book? Aren't they a bit simplistic if RIM thought this was a vehicle to enter into a consumer market? I do not think that professional or corporate users would appreciate this naming. At least they would have a prejudice.01-07-11 10:46 AMLike 0

Is it ludicrous? No.
The fact that the common excuse for the tablet's deficiencies have become: "It's made for BB users." pretty much sums it up for me.
The only thing close to ludicrous about it is that I didn't make any exceptions, but there are always exceptions - right?01-07-11 11:01 AMLike 0
