I have a demo Playbook at our company. As below, I have no idea what the purpose of this thing is. You can browse the web on a smaller screne than an ipad, there is no video chat, no skype client and no integrated email. Gave it to my wife and 6 year old daughter. Wife: "i like the iPad better" 6 year old "there's no Angry Birds for it?"

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.
