PlayBook Apps - If not available in 30 days I'm returning Playbook for Refund
- The PlayBook is a great device, but I feel lost without the most logical apps that are no-brainers... WSJ, NY Times, Financial Times, Bloomberg, Kindle, etc. I bought my PlayBook at Best Buy and they said I could return for full refund within 30 days. If the apps I need are not forthcoming, I intend to return my PlayBook and (choke!!) buy an Ipad 2, which has all of these apps.06-13-11 04:46 PMLike 0
- Why do you figure you need apps for the news feeds when you can go directly to the actual web sites?
World business, finance, and political news from the Financial Times - FT.com
Bloomberg - Business & Financial News, Breaking News Headlines
Heck, even the crackberry app is "collecting dust" in my app collection. I just go straight to the site.06-13-11 04:57 PMLike 0 - Why did you buy it in the first place if you knew it didn't have these apps that you "need"?
I don't think you get the point of a refund.
You refund because you realize that you don't need or want it.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-13-11 04:57 PMLike 0 - The Bloomberg (Professional) app, for example, on the Ipad is not the same thing as the Bloomberg website. Reading the WSJ on the Ipad app is also better than the website. And Kindle??? They say it's coming... but who knows when.06-13-11 05:01 PMLike 0

I actually prefer cnbc stock app. But this should help you understand the desirability of good apps like stock apps. And good news apps.

Or maybe complain to WSJ, NY Times, Financial Times, Bloomberg etc. since it's up to them to make an app for the PB.\

- You seriously think that someone who has full access to all that data via the web needs a stupid islab app? Btw, there is an app in app world for following most of the major bourses. C'mon, itroll, your silly games just keep getting weaker and weaker and the PB is less than two months old. You're getting beat up by a 7 week old baby.06-13-11 05:21 PMLike 0
- Amazon was the one who announce a Kindle app, not RIM.
Amazon bringing Kindle app to BlackBerry PlayBook, loves making Kindle apps -- Engadget
Amazon just announced that it will be supporting the new BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, in addition to the BlackBerry mobile app they've already got.06-13-11 05:23 PMLike 0 - why dont you guys face it.. i am a playbook owner for at least 2 weeks and i must say it is incomplete. i dont see the benefits of this tablet. yeah, the screen is amazing, awesome camera but the problem here is the apps.. the hardware is amazing but the problem itself is the OS. they sent 3 OTA updates if im not mistaken but still its not beneficial for consumers. i can believe it until now the email client is not existing.. how sad..06-13-11 05:26 PMLike 0
- Michelle HaagI work here.This thread has been done, many times.
If you don't like the PlayBook, and you don't like the selection of apps, then return it. Buy something else. Or, when the apps are available, buy another PlayBook.
We don't need a new thread every time someone decides they want to return their PlayBook. I'm not sure if you were trying to give RIM some sort of ultimatum with your post, but it's pointless. As was said many many times before, RIM doesn't make the apps. Complain to people that can actually do something about it. PlayBook App Initiative Thread06-13-11 05:33 PMLike 10
