The Seagate HDD? Yeah, don't bother. No stores locally have any, unless you're willing to drive out to Westbank or Kelowna.

So now that the Nexus 7 is out...I'm wondering should I go with the 7 or pick up a 64gb Playbook for the same price?

It's pretty much dead now......Nexus 7 will just eat it alive.
I bought the Playbook TWICE, just because I wanted to give it another chance after OS 2.0 update but still left disappointed.

I do, however, love the QNX UI. Going back to IOS or Android seems like a step back, in terms of OS fluidity.

I can confirm that. Some stores will get them Sunday, others should be Monday or Tuesday. ;-)
And yes 230 units in the first batch.

Is there anything already announced that will be released soon that is a quad core 7 inch tablet like the Nexus 7, except it will include a MicroSD slot?
I think I heard Acer has one soon? Haven't heard anything from any others though.
I'm really debating hard about a 7 inch tablet, and storage space for videos is extremely important after using 10 inch tablets with bigger storage (Transformer Prime).

Edit. Looks like they have some workaround using an app called Stickmount.
