I don't get it....
I was like Cartman, waiting for his new Wii, from the moment I heard about the Playbook!! I bought mine as soon as I could and embarked on a 6 week trip to Europe, Playbook in hand. I had a great time and my Playbook was a big part of the enjoyment.
I read all the reviews coming up to its release and I got what I expected to get, and what's more, I love it much more than I thought would. It goes everywhere with me and stands in for my laptop on short overnight stays. It always works, battery charge lasts forever, takes great pics and 1080p video and .... it fits in the small bag I always take with me (man purse) snugly nestled against my daytimer when it isn't in my hand. If I was a slave to my phone and forking out a small fortune to a cell provider for a data plan I'm sure I would be in Nirvana with bridging, tethering, enterprising et al. I love my Blackberry Bold with it's actual keyboard and I love my Playbook tablet. Thank you RIM, keep up the good work.
