Facebook for PlayBook shown off in Adobe demo

That's what I keep saying to people as well, plus RIM have promised updates :)

Live in the UK too, anyone have any more details on when it will be on Sale over here, [Rummors say June currently :(]

It could be a DLNA connection - RIM said they are going to support that.

No, it was wired, if you look closely, you can see the wire looping underneath the desk.

notifications.

+1 on jsut going to the site. This this gives you full web.

We aren't quite there yet. Web applications can't yet bring the level of integration (notifications, device specific context stuff) and polish that a native app can.

People seem not to realize that a blackberry smartphone brings a far more integrated experience than a desktop pc, even with access to the "full internet". You probably can't just right click on an entry in your RSS reader or podcast downloader and tweet, facebook, im, or email it to a friend on your desktop PC. You can do this on your blackberry.

For one, I am happy to see a move away from the web as an application delivery platform to native/device based applications. I hope this trend extends to the PC.

Then why are they making apps? Sounds like you are creating excuses for a Playbook with no APP's yet? But when they arrive - you will Jump on the other side? Or your basic argument about not needed apps will die, since the Playbook is going to Create APP's for everything, following Ipads Lead!!!

It might do both, but I agree with you there. I hope for a certain level of consistency throughout various applications. Especially 1st and 2nd party apps.

Is your phone faulty? Why would you want to pay for data on your phone and on you tablet when you can save money by sharing the data? There's gonna be a 3g version too though so you can pay for extra data when it's released if you want to. I'm pretty sure there'll be a facebook app with notifications sometime soon. The playbook isn't even up to a day old. Apps will come.

Come on man. They sell all sorts of tablets without a cellular connection. It isn't useless. It is just limited to wifi. Thankfully 4G versions will be out soon and for the time being we can bridge and use our BB phone. That is better connectivity than what Apple offers on their wifi only models.

Hi @CrackBerryDoctor,

Douglas from RIM here. To clarify, our current Wi-Fi PlayBook does pair with any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone as a modem to access high-speed wireless networks(specific capabilities are dependent on individual wireless carriers). Of course, you can also tap into Wi-Fi hotspots wherever you are – at the office, at home, in the coffee shop, or the airport – and stay connected.

We’ve also announced that three additional 4G PlayBook tablets will make their debut this year:

- BlackBerry 4G PlayBook with Wi-Fi + WiMax: this summer via Sprint
- BlackBerry 4G PlayBook with Wi-Fi + LTE: second half of 2011
- BlackBerry 4G PlayBook with Wi-Fi + HSPA+: second half of 2011

Cheers,
Douglas, RIM Social Media Team

So you must like paying your cell carrier lots of money if you go to a dedicated 3G connection... just saying. I can tether mine and BB bridge works great on getting me on the net if I'm not near wi-fi, much like tethering would without a BB.

I concur! I want one!
