This is exactly why we are not getting one. We have a few iPads in our environment (using Good Technology as the conduit to Exchange) and are pleasantly surprised with iPads. This was released too soon in an attempt to get into 'slate' market. Mistake on RIM...no native email integration without bridging, no BES integration.

I can see that POV on those devices. The thing about the Playbook is I am not really sure of the purpose as it currently stands. Bridge makes it effectively a bigger touch screen version of my BlackBerry. That I have to have with me anyway to use Bridge. And which I can more quickly reply to an email or add a contact at this point because I've used it for so long. So that makes the Playbook a 7 inch touch screen internet browser. And to address the original question of 'from an admin's point of view'--there's not much to administer with it. there's no BES integration.

Many of its hardware features just aren't enabled because there aren't drivers yet. Rumor has it that Motorola has discontinued it already, deciding to focus, instead, on ruggedized tablet for factory floors and construction sites. The iPad is polished, but can be frustrating for IT, accostomed to Windows, Linux and Android, because Apple controls everything. Apple even turns off remote admin features at whim.
