If so, why or why not?

Our organization seems to adopt technology in phases - it is almost like the leadership want to learn new things in their smart phone technology. And the people below just follow the bosses. It is just a shell game, as far as I can see. We phased out of blackberry a couple of years ago, so that must mean that the early adopters for the next round of BB are around the corner.
Some companies prefer solid consistent developments and ease of developments. From where I'm at, this only applies to Android and iPhone app development where companies can develop at ese. If the blackberry supports Android apps. I'd feel it will end Apple's dominion.
So the problem you have with the Playbook is ... that it's useful for business and secure for enterprise ??!
that doesn't make it a very good toy?
All the businessman wants to know is does it play Angry Birds? Productivity is for losers. jk

If Android apps is really available to the PlayBook, it will be able to play Angry Birds. Possibly NFS or Wings of Glory as well.
it very nice to Android apps available to the playbook. we all able yo play Angry Birds. bachelors Degree | Masters Degrees
the problem is it requires a separate Blackberry phone to access e-mail and calendar. I was hoping for direct on-board BES functionality. I don't need a phone at work, but I could certainly use a portable e-mail and web browsing device with WiFi as I move around the plant and warehouse. Until there's a native e-mail app with Exchange compatibility, I'll stay on the sidelines.

The PlayBook is the perfect complement, not compliment, to the Blackberry smartphone.
Very nice example about Complement vs. compliment, great found. Lorenz University
I'm not a Blackberry fan, but a coworker has one (to be familiar with it in the instance that a blackberry-fan client will get one) and I toyed around w/it for a bit.
It's really smooth and works quite well. The "true" multitasking is pretty sweet, too, actually.
Size is the biggest issue I have w/it. I'd rather have a 10" tablet b/c I'd be the one using it to watch movies in bed so as to not lug out my laptop XD

I have no problem with the form factor although I haven't seen one yet. I am struggling to find a use for it. It must be tethered to a Blackberry for internet access. It has no SIM card slot. What were the designers thinking. Its too small to watch a movie on and I have no intention of streaming a movie, not in South Africa. What does one do with it after the 1st 10 days, play games!!!
Not for wifi. One of my coworkers has been using his on wifi all week. The tethering is needed for email and calendar access b/c there is no native client for that- YET. That will be updated later in the year. That was clearly stated in the article
As for the SIM card slot- if you can just sync your bbry contacts by connecting it, then why need a SIM?
A lot of companies now have web-based tools. At my job, our ticketing program is use in a browser. I know i'd rather use the 7" screen of the playbook to view tickets out in the field instead of the much smaller phone screen. It would definitely be helpful for professionals. This thing has flash and a pretty good browsing experience overall. Oh, and real multitasking- as in, you can "minimize" a current app and see all the open ones.
It doesn't have everything we want right now. B/c it's not even a month old- RIM will keep updating it. As I said in my post, I'm not a bbry fan, but I rather like the playbook.

"Usable word processor - One my biggest complaints with the iPad is that there isn???t a decent word processing app for taking notes, writing letters/memos, building basic documents,"
FYI
The iPad has Tons of free Apps for that, plus if you need to do a lot of writing, use the app called " Pages" Its one of the best word processor on the market.

He said: "No usable word processors" for the iPad, And his comment is incorrect.
My Answers was: The iPad has Tons of free Apps for that, plus if you need to do a lot of writing, use the app called " Pages" Its one of the best word processor on the market.
So your responses does not make any sense, yes others may have some type word processors apps, but that was not the question, was it?

the fact alone that I can bridge it to my enterprise BBy smartphone is reason to have it. Its much better to see and open emails, attachments etc, on the 7 inch screen than on a 1.5 inch. And I certainly don't want to carry a 10 inch model as my eyesight is not that bad yet. It works and does what its supposed to, once they create a way to get files off of it wirelessly initiated from the Playbook it will be awesome.
My playbook. But I can hardly pry it out my 13 year old daughters hands. Tells me something right off. I would recommend it to anyone not easily swayed by tech writers who have a vested interest in maligning this tablet. My first thought has been and still is why are these people trying to drive down the price of RIM stocks? Hasn't anyone of you considered the possibility that someone is manipulating RIM stock prices to attempt a buy out? All the whining about the Playbook and then the smart phones, when they knew full well the RIM had a new batch of phones coming out smacks of something stinking going on. Now these same clowns are singing the praises of RIMS latest phones and OS7. Just wait till they get QNX running on the next round of phones. Blackberry has always been about security and first rate engineering. But it appears a lot of these people are closet Apple fan boys even after they said Apple was dead for 20 years. Want a great tablet with a great future? Get a BB Playbook.
Playbook does not work for me. It is more of an inconvenience for me. The same with my BB phone gathering dust for 2 years now.
I have both Android & iPad, I can use them for anything. Boat navigation, office work, taking notes on meetings, car tuning, travelling, etc... I can grab either one and it will make my day productive. I wish I could say the same for Playbook.
