the blackberry playbook is on sale at most major retailers for $300 off.

i picked me up a 32gb. and so far its a nice little device. syncs nicely to the bb torch. can copy files to it though the network (auto mapped to x: on my windows 7 box) without having to use usb. installed several converted android apps to it. had it a week and 2 updates have already come out for it. os2 beta looked good on it too.

suprised nobody has commented on this. I'm still enjoying the playbook. To those able to take advantage of the deal how do you like it?

I've been watching the tablet market and am holding out for the quad core chips early next year (actually 5 with the slower one that helps battery life) as well as Ice Cream Sandwich and/or Win8. The new ASUS model looks nice but pricey for my cheap-o-ness since I don't need one, just a luxury. Glad to hear you're liking yours!

Have you tried the 2.0 software on yours yet? I've heard great reviews...kinda wish I'd of picked up a cheap one when they were clearanced but still waiting on Win8/quad core tablets.

Both mine and my Wifes playbook have been updated... I have been running the Beta's since Dec. Havne't played around with the offical 2.0 release too much yet though. AS far as web surfing and general use, I use it more then I do my laptop, My kids enjoy using it more then their ipods
