BlackBerry PlayBook Hands-on

When I first saw it it looked really cool. After about 5 minutes playing with it, though, I started to ask myself: "So what else can I do with this thing?" The biggest drawback is definitely the lack of apps. After all, one can only play so much NFS.

I'll buy one anyway and make a bet that the apps will come, but at this stage, its not really much beyond being a big screen for my BlackBerry.

What I heard is that it doesn't have an email app?

Reviews are pretty mixed with the Playbook. Here is a more direct link to David Pogue's take on the Playbook:

was eyeing for it since it announced but since BIS is not good enough on it, will have to wait & see in person how email works on it, heard it will run Android natively, how?
might get a touch screen Bold instead when available, good enough for daily carry around in pocket

Wow, RIM a company who's products are well known for its robust email features does not have a native app for their tablet. I'd never thought I'd see the day.

I found this review pretty straight forward. We really have yet to see if RIM will be able to woo its intended audience for this tablet

I'm disappointed so much potential but so much is lacking out of the box, perhaps in they'll get it right in version two.
