I wasn't a fan of the Playbook at all, I returned it after 5 days. I liked the size, but it only did the very basic things.. which is fine for the price point I suppose, but the potential is there for so much more, I found that to be frustrating.

Note - I returned it before it got the Android and upgrade to OS2, but from reviews it didn't seem to do what I wanted with Android anyways (fully implement through it's own Android Market Google Play). Instead you have to go through the Blackberry App world, just seemed like a needless step.

I still think far and away the iPad is the best tablet out there, but it's expensive, and I want an alternative to the Apple ecosystem.
