Tips & tricks, tech support, home theatre, online gaming, reviews, latest news...
so since we've had like 5 pages of 3 people talking about where to get one lets make this a little more interesting.
what apps and shit is everyone running?
so far ive found:
Conqu - good task manager/to do list
Facebook - facebook (duh)
ScoreMobile - sports app. as good as for mobile
Scroodle - pretty cool app turns the screen into a chalkboard or white board for drawing or sketching
Cineplex Mobile - doesn't seem to work for me. when it opens a city it just has a window with nothing in it
ones i plan to try
Poynt - local business search/locator
Oanda - real time currency converter
Ideapad - similar to scroodle but more of a note taking and idea sketching for meetings, etc. not free tho
i think most developers are now waiting for os2 which should be a huge step forward with native email and calendar.

and one game
Doodle Blast - game: draw lines to get marbles to drop into targets
The only app I have installed so far is Poynt which is always a must have app. However, since I already have it on my BB I really don't know how often I would use it on the PB. Otherwise I browsed around and have yet to find a single app interesting enough to download which is pretty sad.

I personally think the National Film Board app which came pre-loaded is pretty good. I've watched a couple of full length documentaries including one on the Chinese Head Tax. Posted via RS Mobile
so I never thought the playbook could stream games or the fights until shawn79 sent me a pm. Well guess what if you didnt know it could but I'm so happy right now im not going to miss a fight again

Not really for the lack of trying but more just lack of interest. You're right, there are good apps but just not for me. I'm also not one for games on tablets either but I might give a few of them a try. It really doesn't matter too much in the end cause I mainly use it for media and surfing so it ain't no deal breaker for me.

I was bored in class and started watching college ball on firstrowsports lol. Flash does come in handy some times. For $200 this deal couldn't go wrong. To have with you to surf the web and for media is awesome. Nothing wrong with using my iphone but to have it on a bigger screen is dope. Apps need more support but I suppose that according to you guys os 2.0 is coming.
I'll knitpick on one thing though. Everytime I try to set an image as my background it always focuses into part of the picture like they cropped it, and I dont get the full picture. Any one know how to fix this?

Will I have a lesser experience with the playbook if I don't own a blackberry? Posted via RS Mobile
You won't be missing anything really, only BlackBerry Bridge. But missed things can be substituted. Within bridge you will have email, contacts, calendar(all 3 which are in your gmail/hotmail website versions), memopad/tasks(there are apps for those), bridge browser(can be tethered and use wifi hotspot from your android/iPhone to use regular browser) and BBM. You will onyl be missing most of these features until OS 2.0 comes out in February 12'. Posted via RS Mobile
ok for those who are still trying to buy playbooks, you can buy them now DIRECTLY from RIM at the same sale prices.

BlackBerry PlayBook now being shipped direct from RIM at sale prices
If the supply chain in your area has run dry of the BlackBerry PlayBook you need not worry any longer. RIM has decided it to maximize those sales by offering the device up on their very own portal and not only that, they're doing so with the sale prices attached as well. So, right now -- you can get:
16GB BlackBerry PlayBook for - $199
32GB BlackBerry PlayBook for - $299
64GB BlackBerry PlayBook for - $399
With all versions in stock and shipping within two business days, it sure has heck beats going out and fighting the holiday shopping crowds. Sales end on December 1st, so make sure you get yours ordered before then. It is applicable on both the U.S. and Canadian sites.
