Do note that not all android apps will be on the playbook, only 2.x apps will work(I think it was 2.1 version apps)after that there will be no support for android apps

@Feliexxxxxxxx I'm here to clear up any ignorance associated with this. As it has been reported by numerous sources "The company announced today that in addition to its new native SDK, the BlackBerry PlayBook will support apps written for Android 2.3 and BlackBerry Java." per Mashable. By the way, that's the one with the MOST apps on it, as Honeycomb only has like 200 apps? Yea...

@MrQ8center alright man, that's pretty sound logic (lol). I'm not gonna argue with you on why this is a better tablet because I already know it's better

It looks awesome! Already preordered it :) Just waiting for April 19th :D :D

yeah it does email. at least with rogers yahoo i have sent several emails. the only down side is typing correctly can be a challenge if you dont have the fingers of a small child. it doesnt have as many apps as apple but who needs some of those useless apps like 20 apps that all make fart noises.

Just to clear a few points the playbook does 3G if you have a phone with a hotspot feature not just BB cell phones, the email,contacts,and calendar yeah how did You do that before a tablet...oh yeah from the browser...this is what tablets should be..the fan boys see that and are trying to discredit the device but when people get it in their hands they will understand what the playbook is offering.

Do not listen to the critics about this tablet go to best buy today and test it out..this tablet is awesome I had it in my hands for

30 min I checked the browser it's was great flash played as good as on desktop..hdmi out was beyond beautiful..do not listen to the haters go and test it out yourself

@amazingdany unless u have wifi. like a router.

[amazingdany]

With a wifi PB, does it mean I can access the Internet from ANYWHERE for free, for example I go on top of the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, the Grand Canyon, I will access it on my PB?

[golfbeast19]

@bludycore 2.1 has the most apps I believe excluding skype but I think blackberry world has a skype application or at least IM+
