It's not very often that we hear something explicitly positive of RIM's PlayBook, but here comes a good news at last...

Makes me wonder ... how high were they expectations?

Hahaha! No kidding! But to be honest, we have seen a lot of Playbooks moving through Outlets like Best Buy...

Ah, you bring a great point. Higher than you might think. I bought one (though I said I wouldn't until email and BBM was added) and I returned mine for that reason... a little undercooked. I am a Rep, and on Saturday I saw a lot sell, but three returned as well...

And BBM has just been added.... Gotta love just how patient people are.
I wonder how many iPhone 2G's were returned when people realised they couldn't MMS or customise the wallpaper....

Email? Also, I'd prefer a carrier version.

There are loads of them being shipped to Australia viawww.gsmnation.com and also USunlocked.com
I think you'll all be shocked as to just how popular this 7"er really is!

RIM sold over 40M handsets last year. Clearly they have some loyal customers still.
Personally I think they've done a good job thus far with the PlayBook OS. If they can continue on the same path and add developers with good apps it will be a major tablet.

Happy for RIM. The Playbook is the basis for their OS7, future phones, and App development. I hope it is a great success, and Blackberry can reclaim some of it's lost market. A strong Blackberry line up only helps in the mobile market.

Yea its great that BB is showing signs of life again, and by having a 4G device come out by the end of year is gonna be huge to stay in the game it has slowly been seen getting edged out of.

the Playbook looks like a nice device and the new software is definitely a nice refresh to what Blackberry has offered previously, plus the fact that there is support for Android apps makes this a heavy competitor. the only thing I'm not crazy about is the size of it...7" is too small for me.

I am planning on picking this up in the next few days. So excited!
