Its really slick but a lot of the features I expected are coming soon (a few weeks). For example, it has both a front and back HD camera perfect for video conferencing. Except there's no video conf app yet. The one for Playbook comes out in about 4 weeks. Skype's app should be a few months. Blackberry Bridge app that links your BB to Playbook is great. Let's you share your emails and contacts, calendars and synch's like a charm. No BBM on Playbook, yet. 4 weeks again.

I get the distinct impression it was rushed to market to compete with iPad, but it *will* be great. My main reason for purchasing it was mostly a tablet with Flash/JS support. No iTunes bullshit either, you can wirelessly share your Playbook as an external drive Z and transfer whatever you want over your WiFi.

Definitely better than the iPad but it will really be amazing once the apps being built for it are ready.
