BlackBerry PlayBook users?

Used the search didt come up with much.

I can get:

BlackBerry PlayBook Rapid Charging Stand
BlackBerry PlayBook - Tablet - 16 GB - 7" TFT
BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK SCREEN PROTECTOR / GUARD

All brand new a legit for £89 with work.
Both me and the wife have BB as handsets and want a tablet that we can sit on the sofa and browse maybe a few games for the kids.

Do you think its worth it, dont really want to ipad route purely for the money looking at the other tablets they seem to have better support and apps but for £89 is a no brainer?

thoughts please from any PB users?

Hmmm will i ever use 32GB if i only browse the web lol

Thanks people just needed a little push, was worried about RIM just giving up on PB and starting fresh on the PB2.

thanks again

And with BB Bridge, you can link your BB to the PB to basically tether when WIFI isn't available, but any data comes out of your mobile data and not charged extra

Ill take a PB over an ipad any day for browsing, no chopiness at all and no problems sliding my finger down a screen. The apps i agree 100% are gash on the PB but i knew that and didt care i dont have to see how loud my last burp etc

Got my eye on a 16GB version for between £120 and £140, want one as a browsing and multimedia device. I figure now that it's been rooted with Dingleberry, that its only a matter of time before Android is put on the thing, and for the money you then have an Android tablet that is miles and away above anything else in terms of quality for the money.

you can get the Android app before is was rooted mate
