Videos of the Playbook looks promising but so doesn't a lot of videos of BB Products. I do hope this is the future of BB, if not, they might sink. If this is, they might survive and might be top again.

The Playbook really interests me. The fact that it is so versatile with different virtual machines is a nice touch. I'll be interested to see if it really lives up to the hype.

Heres another look at the playbook. YouTube - BlackBerry PlayBook Video - Need for Speed, Tetris and More!

This video does look very promising and being able to play two games at once just shows the power it has. It might not of been long but it looked smooth running both games. Not practical but still impressive. I think I'm going to hold out on an Android tablet and wait for this. Not something I thought I would of said of even thought about but after some other videos, this looks good.

And on top of that, Android apps (if rumors are true), this is going to be one killer device.

I'm a a hardcore android enthusiast but the Playbook has caught my interest the most...the design is flawless...hardware looks to run smooth...and the bezel gestures looks very promising ...and if it does end up running android apps...this IMO will be the tablet to beat...
Life is about EVOlution

Something is up that the PB will support Android Apps after a few lines of coding is completed yet Honeycomb Tablets will not be open source?
What is up with that??

As a former BB user, I am most intrigued by the QNX OS. RIM needs to get something going quick. Not that I would ever switch back, but competition is good for business.
