why are they demonstrating stupid apps like imdb or shitty inaccurate drum pads? They should demonstrate something business or school related. I really need to know if this shit can run apps similar to TI’s CAS calculators or mathematical graphs. In my opinion, ipads and tablets are embarrassing but if they would develop more shit to make school bearable then i would definitely buy one. Ebook readers need to step it up w/ textbook licenses too.
i can’t wait for this! current rumours are end of fall… so let’s see. hopefully it doesn’t get delayed. I love the playbook, considering I use it mostly for minimal things, but having more apps on it would be a great thing.
@Cowshitbullshit theorically, the hardward from the spec point of view, is awesome, but the shit OS and lack of softwares applications makes all that high spec hardwares useless
The playbook is highly under appreciated. If people would get over their blackberry hate and go ahead and use it they’d know its the fastest, smoothest and most superior tablet on the market. Its just really fast and smooth and fun. QNX is really slick. Hardware is just awesome. With android apps nothing will beat it. Damn the lack of blackberry native apps. Oh well, thank you google I guess :/
i would never buy a tablet myself. But i hope my work does give me one to use for work (playbook, since we use bb). Or my boss said a cruel joke, but i can somewhat see why he said they’ll be handing one to me. I hope its true >_<
OK, you should put window’s user interface and games service(Xbox live), with QNX’s multitasking and notification, android’s google integration and customization, and let HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, and Nokia join forces on the hardware specs and design. All these companies would form 1 super company to demolish apple with a simple 10 inch tablet. Then devs would stop making apps for iOS. A man can dream right?
This guy moves his hands so much that I can barely see the screen!
By the way why isn’t BB creating its own apps and is stealing them from Android? we will have love to have more options than just Nasty Android and Apple IOS -__-
@djohnstonXCII Seem less integration with Android defeats the whole purpose of them having their own OS. Its like saying Android will integrate with ITunes market. To me this is like RIM accepting defeat by android. I agree they should continue with their own OS and try to innovate, but this in my opinion is a last minute job at trying to sell a dying product with Android. Can you think of another company who was stubborn to keep supporting their failing OS? Answer Nokia.
the showsman is not good in his job
Why couldn’t they demo a clean smudge-free Playbook.
ok wait were do i download android app player?
I think the Playbook OS is awesome and provides a fluid experience.. I’m actually selling my iPad for this.
Now where is it???

Can you just install Android on it… or a true unlocked Linux of some sort ?

The latest update of the playbook kills the Android Player, careful all beta testers.
