Dont claim to know much about tech stuff and hence your comment seems to be quite reassuring that i hadn't made a stupid decision to buy the playbook. Although i do feel that the BB playbook has lot of catching up to do on the app front. There are barely any useful apps, and most of them aren't user friendly, atleast in Aus. I suppose BB Playbook is only useful for people in the US. But like you have mentioned i shall wait to see the day when the playbook ramps up on the apps. Ta.
