We have one device that we are using to evaluate for those exact reasons. I've only had it a couple of days.
I originally liked the marketing blurb about how the bridging protects documents. When the bridge is broken, nothing remains on the Playbook (think if someone walked away from the PB at Starbucks). However, I'm disappointed in how that actually works. It works by downloading documents to the SD card on the BB. We have our BES to configure encryption on all BB. We haven't found that the PB can access BB encrypted files. That may be our lack of time with it, but seems to be a weakness. We are heavy Sharepoint users. Access to internal sites is OK via the bridge browser. But I downloaded an app from the appstore that is supposed to optimize performance of Sharepoint sites to the PB. Works very well for public Sharepoint sites. However, it doesn't work over the bridge - the vendor says it is a current RIM bridge limitation. I like the multitasking, and the HDMI out. I actually like the smaller size compared to iPad. I haven't tried VPN yet.
