The new BlackBerry PlayBook maybe an iPad killer. It loads web pages faster and has flash support. iPad does not support flash. It’s smaller, but bigger isn’t always better. Which do you prefer?

The Playbook was impressive in that demo. I prefer performance to size (that's what she said) and Flash support is huge. I'm not in the market for these, but based on that video alone and no other research, the Playbook would be my choice. Is the playbook wifi only or 3G also?

I would guess they would bring out a wifi and 3g model..... That would be the smart thing in my opinion.

I heard the rim pad only works if you have another rim device to tether it to...if that's true then this thing is retarded

I don't think it ONLY works then, I just think you can use your blackberry's 3G to tether to it. It doesn't look like it is tethered to anything in the video.

I could give two craps about flash. I didn't care that my old iPhone didn't support it and I haven't once used it on my Evo. I've screwed around with an ipad at the Apple store, I'll be getting one once they release the next generation. The HUGE leg up on the app store is far, far more important than flash support.

off subject, but I used the key ring rewards app today.....thx for the idea. Although it is completely unnecessary...I felt like a pimp at the checkout..

When will a company come up with something original instead of copying Apple?

Heard today that the iPhone alone is worth more than every company in the world except for 10.

That is CRAZY.

The iPhone is worth about ~$700-800.

I don't see how that is more than most companies in the world.
