Since you guys created a PlayBook forum and since it will be able to play Android apps, I have to ask...does anyone else have PB? I am the smartphone (and tablet) guy at my office so I have a BlackBerry , Droid X, PlayBook and soon an iPad 2 (I know, I know). Hopefully they can get me a Xoom too. So far I love the PB...I look forward to safely running Android Apps on it.

I tried one out at Best Buy last week. I had to ask for it at the cell phone section. They had the accessories out but no display and had to go through a cabinet to find it.

The hardware feels REALLY nice. Great size, solid feel. If I had a compatible Blackberry phone for business I'd probably consider it a no-brainer for work.

However, it's got too many shortcomings right now, especially since there is going to be an extra layer between the Playbook and the Android market. Items are going to have to be submitted to BB to be put in their own app store for access. If you could just go directly to the Android Market (or side load any app) it would be fantastic.
