The tethering connection is through bluetooth, so you would need bluetooth on on both devices.

1GB will definitely be enough if you're just browsing and lightly streaming videos.

Thanks for the heads-up, I just bought one too! One guy said they got 120 in and only have about 20 left! So hurry in if you want one too!

Maaaan, I hit up Coquitlam Centre after work...

No dice. Future Shop, LD, Source, even Best Buy across the street. No 16gb, or even some of the 32 and 64!

Don't really feel like going out to Metro in rush hour. Anyone know how long this sale is on now?

Do you pre-order in store? Or did you buy it through their website?

i pre-ordered mine through staples yesterday night went into the store and paid and bought a case too haha if places have the playbook before mine comes in ill go buy it and cancel my order...my buddy didn't know of the sale until he saw a commercial on tv but obviously it was too late. So i told him there pretty hard to find so he called best buy po co and they supposedly had 20 playbooks in stock but when i called the guy didn't know if they had any...i was pissed cuz how don't u know if u have the product in but whatevs..

Some rumours about OS 2.0:

A user on Crackberry forums who was at the innovations forum in Toronto stated that during demonstrations of OS 2.0, they were using their Blackberry phones as input devices for the Playbook (I.e. As keyboards) Also, they were demonstrating auto-correct and word substitution features.
