I paid 299 for one and I'm more or less satisfied. The 7" form factor is pretty solid - it slips easily into my messenger bag, or my gym bag and I can hold it with one hand during my commutes on Skytrain. I catch up on newspapers during my commute via BB Bridge. The only app I would like to see is an Economist app, but that's about it. I have the native Playbook Globe and Mail and Vancouver Sun apps.

For $199, this is basically what you get:
- A very capable media player and
- A pretty good web browser
- If you're a BB user, you get email and BBM functionality

I've never used a Touchpad, but unless you're into hacking devices (of course all of RS is since everyone uses Droids), the PB in its stillborn state is capable piece of hardware in my slightly-biased opinion.
