Thinking about buying BlackBerry PlayBook
Not sure if this is the right spot to post this.
Ok so this is what I think I want to do. I bought both a q10 and z10. I have spent time using each phone and love them both. The conclusion I've come to is that for what I do the q10 is the best phone for me, I'm on the go always moving around be it inside my store or out on the road and I keep going back the q10 wile I like the screen size of the z10 and touch keyboard is awesome. The battery life can't be beat ease of carrying around making phone calls texting, taking notes, setting reminders and and answering emails The q10 is just easier and faster to use wile moving around, so I want to buy a blackberry play book for browsing the internet and doing things that a bigger screen is good for wile at home or in my store setting at my desk. A wile back I tried a samsung tablet and couldn't stand it. What I need to know is there anything I need to look for when I purchase a playbook. I don't much about them. Like what apps are available can android apps be loaded on it like os10 and so on. Any help is much appreciated.

Thinking about buying BlackBerry PlayBook
I used to use my PB in exactly the same way as you intend to - as a big display for a partnered BB phone. It worked very well.
Bridge was awesome, and has now been restored to glory when used with BB10 (BB's previously poor decision to remove useful Bridge capability has been reversed). The PB browser was, and always will be, total garbage (IMO) - luckily the Origami browser is a first class replacement.
The PB has the Android player too, but I can't comment on current App availability.
If you can find one cheap, the PB is still excellent for the use you propose. Get the 64GB version if you can, it just future proofs you for very little extra cash and allows storage of movies/music for on-the-road times (which was the other main use of my PB).
