Ok so here's the question. Blackberry playbook or ipad?

Witch one would u buy and why... I'm going to be picking up a playbook very soon because of the conectivitY with my torch. And the flash rowsing. Also the true multitasking is nice too.

Let me know what u think

The fact is that the PlayBook is far too limited, especially in applications, to be any good to the average consumer, who would be better off buying an iPad or Android tablet. (Pay your money, take your choice.)

It has virtually no apps, barely any functionality (you can only do email and calendaring if you already have a BlackBerry, or if you're prepared to use a web-based system which might or might not work), and a small screen. What it's perhaps useful for is doing presentations onto HDMI screens via its HDMI output, because it can drive that while viewing something different on its own screen. Standard enterprise stuff.

But of course, you could take the view of Currys, which says that it is "slick, stylish and luxurious" and that it is "reported to be the 'fastest tablet ever'". (Nice use of the arm's length there.)

Well put. As for the apps. The product is very new and. Well you just have to wait for the applications to come in. And its niceto b able to teather it to your bb and share the internet. Instead of buying a seprate plan. (Iphone is able to brodcast wifi now soo I guess that takes that facter out). But a nice screen. High rez. Good camera on it as well.

My reasoning is to have it replace my desktop while I'm away. So basic web seaches. Email/chat ect. And I find apple products. To toyish. If that makes any sence. Like the ipad feels like just a big gaming device.
