which one is better value?

will playbook be getting a email app?

which is a better PDF/ebook reader, browser, movie/porn player for plane rides?

which one has longer future support for updates, and hacker/homebrew software fixes

Playbook.

You can go wrong with a 200 dollar playbook

yes they will get email in feb

Playbook supports flash.

Playbook has more updates im assuming.


If you have a berry , playbook if not other.

Umm, when the PB launched in April, they said they'd have an e-mail client by June ... Then it was August ... Then it was Q4/2011 ... Now it's February ...

Don't bother advertising it as a feature as it may never get it ...

the web browsing on the playbook is pretty incredible. Beats flash on android any day. And the screen on the playbook is pretty crazy too, hard to believe its an lcd panel. Looks almost like super amoled to me lol

In terms of apps, if you downlaod the developer os 2.0, you can sideload android apps into it.

List of working apps are listed here:

Something else to think about in a few month touchpad will get ICS


The screen is large on the touchpad but could be better quality....
