Re: [Bes-admins] ok so who bought one...
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. 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.

Re: [Bes-admins] ok so who bought one...
This is the BEST review I've read thus far... I find it hilarious that they scored a 2 on Security and Management... http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobile-technology/rim-blackberry-playbook-unf inished-unusable-534 Mark Eggan Information Systems Technician II Napa County ITS Help Desk 259.8142 (office) From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Eggan, Mark Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 8:18 AM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] ok so who bought one... 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. 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.
