I think I read somewhere that the Playbook will support the Android Marketplace?

I actually asked one of the Product Managers at a RIM function in February if
the playbook would support Angry Birds. It was a half-joke question, but
apparently not to some people! (and the answer was, yes, they are specifically
working on getting it supported.)

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.

We've been testing a bunch and felt the Xoom wasn't ready to be released.
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.
