Brilliant tablet, loads of connectivity (especially if you have a Blackberry phone as well). I would recommend!

Not sure where you've got that idea from. Their share of the market in emerging markets is larger than it is here, but it's still below Android and in a number it is behind Symbian and/or iOS as well. That market share is rapidly shrinking in all markets.

I've had a playbook around 8 months or so and other than pissing about side loading apps I don't know of any other way of accessing the android apps but tbh I got bored a long time ago of messing around trying to get stuff to work on it.

Its a better piece of kit to my recently purchased samsung tab 2 but seriously lacks in content which means unless I want to stream football at work it just gets left gathering dust whilst everyone uses the samsung.

Great for internet browsing, watching the odd movie and thats about it.

Lack of apps, skype, netflix and having to convert divx movies that use the ac3 codec means it's never going to be popular unless things change which is a shame because technically its a great bit of kit.

thats pretty much all tablets are any good for though! I'd only ever use it to browse the web or watch films and stuff on when im on the train/plane.
