Specs are underwhelming. The Xoom just looks like a better way to go. It can actually do some more stuff, iOS needs a big update so it can add more flexibility and options.

Me either, I can't figure out the use for it. I don't use laptops, why would I need a much more restrictive tablet.

Thinking about a tablet because I have to ride the train a lot, and the fucker is almost always standing room only.

No way in hell I'd pay $700-800 though, especially if it's just 3G :lame

phone would be easier to use and not require a case. 4" ones would be perfect for this. Same capabilities.

Why would you use a comp on a train anyway? I never understood that. Its like the people at work who are always surfing the web on their phones. Theres a time and a place. At work, on a commuter train, and while driving is not included in those times or places. I never understood the need to be constantly connected.

The train/bus/cab is the perfect place to use it. Sometimes there are things you just need to check. If you take the same route every day then it would give you something else to look at.

I have a BlackBerry Bold and I'm online with it all the time. But if I had a 45 minute train ride to work (each way) I wouldn't mind having something else that I can use to save battery power on my phone. Also the larger screen. If I was going to get one (which I'm not) I think I would pick one of the other brands over the Ipad.

One use I can see for them is for showing previous work in construction. I have used my phone for this to show a pic or two but this would be something that it can be used for. But a laptop will do the same thing. But the Playbook is much lighter then a laptop.

They have some uses but in most cases it seems like a step back from a laptop.
