For the most part, I'm happy with the iPad and don't regret the decision, but the playbook does look pretty sweet.

Well being a previous blackberry user myself I know better than to ever consider the playbook. Daily battery pulls on my tablet isn't acceptable. RIM nailed the hardware specs for the first time ever but the code is still written by the same people. Even thought QNX is different for them that could be a very bad thing. If after 900 builds for the storm they couldn't get common bugs ironed out en learning a new code will only make it worse. It will be extremely buggy I have no doubt. Chances are something in the hardware will fail as well of history shows anything of future events.
