RE: RE: Sorry apple Well I'm 41 and have always liked buying the new tech gadgets. I wasn't a fan of BB phones in the past as I like the full touchscreen, BUT I also know that I hated the keyboard on my first iPhone and it took a lot of getting accustomed to. As for the playbook, I have seen an iPad and think of it as just an iPod touch on steroids. It's "fun" but is made by a company that limits the user experience by controlling what you can and can not do with the item due to the restrictive operating system. After using my sons playbook for a few months I was impressed with the sound and how easy it was to just drag and drop files into. Add in the difference in price between an iPad and a playbook and we are talking 300-400. Rather a large difference. So for what I will be using it for it makes sense from a utility AND financial position. I would guess that most people would prefer the playbook die to the abundance of apps, but I only need the basic (cept I could use Skype).
