Detailed review
I picked up the Playbook as an experiment - I was skeptical of the role of tablets in my own personal electronic life. The Playbook has never ceased to amaze with excellent response, quality applications, and a solid, secure platform. The release of version 2.0 of the OS, which included Android app integration, only served to increase the usability and functionality of the device. Excellent camera and video performance, a fully flash-enabled web browser (a huge discriminator for me), and well-rounded performance make this a valued asset for me, especially on travel. Excellent tablet - I'd be the first to recommend it.
