Actually, I'd just be happy with the PB os update!
Also, survey link does not work

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

The link should definitely work. Triple checked across different browsers, computers, and had other people confirm it works?

And yeah... PlayBook OS update alone is an awesome thing. :)

Well it works NOW.
but didn t when I first posted

The link worked for me, using Chrome browser.

Link doesn't work in PB Crackberry app, so far none have worked from "Latest News" in the app on PB. Took survey from PB web browser just fine...

Personally I think it is best to keep tablet and phone in the same DNA for cross compatibility reasons.

Took the survey. Although it probably wont reveal too many surprises.

Be nice if you could see the results.

lets see, in my house there is an iPad, a Xoom, a Samsung Galaxy 10, a Chromebook, and Acer notebook, two desktops, ans a Playbook. Whenever things need to get done I am always asked for my Playbook. I going with the Playbook. It could only get better!

Get what things done?

 
 
Posted by cjterminator Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Playbook 3G+ next.

 
 
Posted by Rootbrian Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Doesn't matter to me. Once my netbook fails, i'll be sure to replace it with the playbook and use the tablet pc to sync my blackberry.

 
 
Posted by flyersfan76 Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Playbook if they can get a 10" to market.

A windows tablet also as they do 2 totally different things.

You nailed it, enough said.

Works for me, and I will think I'll get an ipad 3. I really like the PlayBook, I just prefer the ipad for my needs. I will consider the Playbook 3G though when I have the cash... ;)

 
 
Posted by aloofkid Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Thinking of buying the PlayBook 4G but I don't think I'll be needing the upgrade since it's just a few minor upgrade in terms of specs. I'm content with my 9900 + PlayBook + Pocket Wi-Fi.

 
 
Posted by buwee Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

I'm waiting for 7" ipad

 
 
Posted by lcfut Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Too bad the survey doesnt allow for multiple answers.
as i have a Playbook and iPad at home.

although I use the Playbook, and my daughter uses the iPad.

 
 
Posted by NFLPLAYBOOK Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

The link works fine. I'm looking forward to seeing the specs of the Playbook 2. I just hope they don't mess with the Bridge feature. I like not having my info on 2 devices. I hope Rim breaks the carrier standoff in North America that 7 inch Tablets aren't allowed to have an active voice modem like they do in Europe.

 
 
Posted by jasperlin Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Playbook 3 or 4. my 32 gig will last me for a long long time.

 
 
Posted by diggin4aliving Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

I have a Playbook and an Ipad but I would like to throw an Android tablet in the mix just for the hell of it.

 
 
Posted by cycomyk Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

I'm sticking with my playbook, but that asus transformer prime 2 is really tempting

 
 
Posted by BB-Bmore Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

If os2 is awesome ill be picking up another Playbook but this one will have 3g :)

 
 
Posted by slbailey1 Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

I'm 90% sure that my next tablet is a 7" to 8" Windows 8 WOA tablet. I currently have the original 7" Galaxy Tab from Verizon which I use all the time. I also have a 16g Touchpad that I use only as a picture frame. I got the Touch during the fire sale.

 
 
Posted by rdjmitchell Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

i just got a PB 16gb less than a month ago, was going to get an ipad but work will not support it but said the os 2.0 will be supported on our network. did have a look about when i was buying mine and was torn between the PB or lenovo's tablet but lucky for me and bb i got one for £169 and loving it.

Happy with the two Playbooks in the house. Next tablet? Probably another Playbook in a year or two if things go the way I think they are headed :-)

 
 
Posted by thetrackballroller Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

I would really like to get a PB ..I got a iPad 2 from a family member who got it from their boss. The iPad 2 is very good..Im a BB Guy til Death its been a lil different. But I feel like the PB needs a better ecosystem and more apps that are mainstream to most folks rather than digging the App World looking for awesome apps (which it has plenty of) But its hard going from iPad 2 to a PB that doesnt have the apps that iPad 2 has..Meaning a better ecosystem. I would love to have one though. But I still feel like its coming along this year. We Still Love You RIMM

 
 
Posted by VicarChoral Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Difficult to answer the survey accurately. I have a 16g Playbook and a 32gTouchpad -- my wife has the first generation ipad. We really don't need another tablet.

But. . . .

I use the Playbook a lot Its hardware and form factor are the best I was thinking about another Playbook, a 64 with more memory First I want to see how os2 actually performs and wait for a little more info on the new version of the Playbook

That's not really a "plan" for a new ta let, though.

Ok Kevin, survey needs some tweaking as I as well own more then 1 tablet. Although my iPad is slowly becoming my 4 year old son's tablet. I am content sticking with my PB and eagerly awaiting the 2.0 update. I am a mac user by default owning an iMac and macbook pro. But I have always been a Blackberry Smartphone owner and to be honest when it comes to tablets - the Playbook has been the best I have had the pleasure of using. The only decent things microsoft has produced in the past was XP and the 360. Android needs to stop releasing devices every week as they have lost their "originality" - that they may or may not have ever had. The iPad is a phenomenal device but with Blackberry Bridge the Playbook is, in my opinion a step above. RIM has made it's fair share of mistakes. But theu continue to grow and produce some of the world's most advanced hardware. Stay strong RIM, you still have my loyalty and it has been well deserved.

Posted by Skeevecr Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

One suggestion for the survey, make the current tablet question multi-select to account for those with more than one tablet since it could have a particular impact on their next one too e.g. I have a playbook and an ipad with my next tablet being likely to be an android one to replace the ipad since itunes is just too annoying to use for loading large amounts of data onto a tablet.

 
 
Posted by Mathrin Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

I have a feeling this will turn into who has the bigger viewer base.

 
 
Posted by recompile Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

Another PlayBook is already on its way. Why would I want any other tablet? Having tried all the big name competitors, I honestly can't understand all the PB bashing. Once you've seen the PB, everything else looks ... outdated.

Unless something drastic happens, I expect both will be upgraded to the next major revision later this year or next year.

 
 
Posted by Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

why do people need all of these apps on their tablet??? RIM- just keep making tablets more and more like computers so we don't need apps, just downloads. when was the last time you downloaded an app on your PC? i never have, and its the most powerful communication device i own. sort of along the lines of playbook having flash so it doesn't need a youtube app. do that for everything. make it a true pocket computer with all computer capabilities. enough with this app wanting. app world would merely be a convenient place to download high demand programs, games and other things. at that stage it should really be called playbook download store. apps are a thing of the past for mobile devices that don't have true computing power. once we have hardware that can do this the blackberry solution will be the best.

I have 4 playbooks in the house and as soon as the playbook 2 with NFC i will buy one at a time to replace my current playbooks with the new NFC ones. But i will not own anything other then the playbook Had ipad one and ipad 2 NO MoRE I JUNK for me.

 
 
Posted by scbou Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

i own both an ipad 2 and a playbook. i must admit the playbook form factor is nice. Also Qnx seem way ahead in term of stability, multitask. The playbook gesture are so much better then my other tablet. With 2.0 there's only few games i'll want on my PB. My ipad 2 is now an expensive paperweight.

Hi @scbou,

Ty from RIM here. You’ve hit upon one of my favorite PlayBook features – form factor. Its 7-inch size makes it really easy for me to get work done in more places, even on a crowded bus or plane. I’ve been lucky enough to go hands-on with PlayBook 2.0 at the office and have seen some of the upcoming apps and content – I’m just as excited as you are.

To keep up with the latest BlackBerry news and announcements, including PlayBook 2.0, keep an eye on our Inside BlackBerry Blog: http://bbry.lv/cWR2rg.

Cheers,
Ty, RIM Social Media Team

I have a PlayBook already, hopefully with another on the way from the latest developer offer (still officially waiting approval, but I think I'm safe). And lots of family already have them. I'm pretty strongly stuck with the PlayBook as my tablet of choice and the new software will only solidify that.

If I really felt like I needed another one, I would probably go for a 10" Windows 8 tablet. I don't have any interest in the iPad or Android for my purposes, but I could see Windows 8 being great because I've always loved Windows Phone for its interface and I could see some great ecosystem potential between my PC and the tablet. Especially if it was like some of the Android tablets now which plug into keyboards, in which case I could use it like a laptop if my work requires it.

 
 
Posted by flyersfan76 Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 100 days ago

The coolest thing about the Windows tablets is that they do not need an "ecosystem" like some Android and MAC fans claim that they are lacking one. Staples, CDW, Best Buy, Microcenter, B&H already have the entire econsystem for Windows tablets locked up. Not to mention the hardware guys (like motion and kiosk) that have specialized software to complement their product line. It is a tablet that is an actual PC. In the last 14 months I have purchase a 17" Laptop, a Playbook and a 24" Touchscreen Desktop. My windows tablet is over 3 years old and a Windows 8 tablet is probably the next purchase either personal or business expense. The second coolest this is that they have been making them for years and they can only get better.

well.. actually just caved in and grabbed one of the super cheap PB's while they last, as they are becoming pretty sparse in my area in oregon. Should be here just as OS2 is hitting on the 21st :) wonder if they'll surprise me and preload it? lol

 
 
Posted by lotuslanderz Friday, Feb 17, 2012 100 days ago

Have a PlayBook and HP Touchpad (firesale). HAD an iPad1.
My next tablet might be Win8 (if the reviews are good) to complement my PlayBook. Or if OS2 (and updates) hits it out of the park, maybe a 10" PlayBook to complement the 7".

 
 
Posted by Perjade Friday, Feb 17, 2012 100 days ago

I have an IPad 2 and a Playbook. I prefer the Ipad , it's bigger, faster , no lag. The Playbook is, sorry I have to say it, to small, browser is lagging ! Waiting for the update OS2 and the IPad 3 !

 
 
Posted by JVED Friday, Feb 17, 2012 100 days ago

Why don't we remove the bezel around the playbook? Same functionality as it has now but without the annoying black frame around the beautiful screen!
