In version 1.0 - RIM forced you to use the email system through Blackberry Bridge, requiring a Blackberry to be tethered.
Bottom line; don't take your Playbook tips from someone who lives off recommending Apple.
As far as the form factor goes - other than perhaps the Galaxy Tab 7 or the Kindle Fire, not much can beat the Playbook. Build quality is as can be expected - excellent.
Thanks it's on the birthday list! ^
I've just bitten the bullet and bought the 64GB version because it was the same price as the 16GB version at Currys/PCWorld. This fact surprised the sales assistant who then dragged me off with the purchase to the manager to check that the price really was £129 given that the 32GB one was £149. Everything works flawlessly so far and I've linked it to my Berry via the bridge. It downloaded the latest software version when booted up and I'm loading it with apps as we speak. ^
