Will check this out tomorrow.

I wish I were going. My wife is going with friends and family to NY during that time, but I am staying behind. #TeamBlackberry #PlayBook 16 gb
maxb1ack Jul 9, 2012 at 4:22 pm
chance for 4G to be announced?

Where was this last summer? Now they are paying to promote something that they only get a very slim margin (if anything) on?
Oh well, I guess they don't have much else in the stable to hype, so if nothing else this gives the marketing department something to do.
Blackberry_boffin Jul 9, 2012 at 6:19 pm
In case you missed it last summer RIM was under different management.
mcmolineux Jul 9, 2012 at 6:28 pm
That's no excuse for the terrible job they did promoting the Playbook. This is too little, too late.
crozyBB Jul 9, 2012 at 8:18 pm
oh wow, did you just say 'too little, too late'? Bet you thought you came up with that all on your own /sarcasm/
mcmolineux Jul 9, 2012 at 8:59 pm
I don't get it.
sk8er_tor Jul 9, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Good for RIM. Finally realizing they have to take the bull by the horns!
raskarl Jul 9, 2012 at 4:55 pm
wow. i wish i cud afford to go over for this...hmm, think i'll just have a play on my own #16 GB Playbook
9of13 Jul 9, 2012 at 4:58 pm
...And I work even closer. Although I work tomorrow, I may just stop by for a few and possibly for the day on wednesday!
mmcpher Jul 9, 2012 at 5:02 pm
I already have a Playbook, but if they had a "hands-on" with a 10 Dev Alpha, white or otherwise, that'd draw me in!
Willeonabe Jul 9, 2012 at 5:31 pm
I think I'll take a trip down to see how it is. It will be cool to see other PlayBook users aand enthusiasts.
flnetman62 Jul 9, 2012 at 5:54 pm
My wife's playbook battery dies out so quickly, and ny dad's is now DOA and won't boot up. Maybe I will take his up with me to NYC this week or next week on my busienss trip to see what they can do.
IS anyone else experiencing issues with their Playbooks going DOA or poor battery life?
crozyBB Jul 9, 2012 at 8:22 pm
Had mine since October (the first series of discounts) and I've never had a single problem with booting or poor battery life. I've heard RIM has gotten better with customer service lately though, so try that route
Rootbrian Jul 10, 2012 at 2:25 am
Use it.
moyjoy Jul 9, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Chelsea Market is 90% Models and old German tourists. They should have done a pop up shop instead. Interesting to note Apple is right next door.
aaast36 Jul 9, 2012 at 9:35 pm
Models and German tourists?!? Nah....maybe if you just go to Anthropolgie....Chelsea market is a foodie haven, has some of the best bakeries, some great restaurants, grocers, the Lobster Place not to mention that they're right below NY1, which could bring some good press. It's a great location. The few times I've had my PB out, people have asked what it is, including folks with Blackberry phones. Tourists are all over the city, and I don't think the bulk are German. But, if you want to think of those who go there as models, I'll take the compliment, I'm not German.....
SteelGreek Jul 9, 2012 at 10:02 pm
Agreed... I used to work around the corner up until about 5 months ago (got transferred to the west village) and there are some great places there. Chelsea Market has a lot of temp shops (pop-ups) during the year. I'm going to try to stop by and check it out though.
moyjoy Jul 9, 2012 at 11:32 pm
i worked in there for years. models and German tourists. sit there for a day and people watch.
also NY1 is not good press. LOL!
otaku2 Jul 9, 2012 at 9:35 pm
Anyone want to meet up around 5:30?
velociraptor89 Jul 9, 2012 at 10:54 pm
Oh crap. I'm on NY on first of August. First I missed the BB10 jam, now this? WTH.
Don't mess with raptors.
mylrob Jul 9, 2012 at 11:23 pm
I will definitely stop by for the opening day. People keep asking me what am I holding, maybe the awareness will finally spread. If you check the link you will also learn that Playbook will be on show at Union Squere, Grand Central Main Terminal, Bryant Park and more, check the dates.
comedicmilkman Jul 10, 2012 at 11:47 am
I'm there now, nice environment, no crazy giveaways today though, and they opened up late, smh
9of13 Jul 10, 2012 at 2:31 pm
I'm officially checking it out Wednesday. It's killing me right now being at work in the Village (a ten minute walk away) and can't make it on the first day
otaku2 Jul 10, 2012 at 9:23 pm
It was fun. Free drinks, lots of good food, nice-looking and knowledgable people showing off the hardware, and a free PB raffle every hour.
