As previously announced, the Wi-Fi version of the BlackBerry Playbook has hit Harvey Norman shelves today. While it’s not a perfect device, it does do the best job of multitasking out of any tablet on the market, and BlackBerry Bridge is a welcome security option for enterprise types. Who’s going to get one?

Not me. I use to love BlackBerry and RIM. But their devices have really fallen behind and so has the build quality (my Bold 9700 has died 6 months into its life). 2 years ago, I would have been at the front of the queue for a Playbook. Today I am joining the chorus of people at work asking to be switched away from the BlackBerry.
Nope, happy with my Iconia :)
Don't you mean WebOS has the best multi-tasking Nick? Considering they all but stole the UI language and idea for it from Palm/HP.
Maybe if there was a WebOS tablet on the market...
So much thinner and crisp than the other tablets. I want one just to watch 1080p movies.
Buying one as soon as I finish work.
Not a chance.
Got one. All good so far. Have even started using it as a support tool since a lot of our admin systems at work have web based interfaces.
How much??
and here I was thinking that Australians were smarter, RIM has nearly laid Playbook to rest, heads have rolled, and here we are discussing purchasing them... ZOMG
No 3g... piece of crap!!
