Don't kid yourself, it ain't not ipad but if you are just doing some basic stuff it works and works just fine.
Bonus: if you have a blackberry phone as well to sync with it giving you internet capabliities on the go without having to find wifi hot spots.

Had an ipad2 for about 1 year...don't understand what's all the hype about it
everytime I try to put some files (video/music) on the ipad it makes me rage
Got the playbook a few week ago and I've been using it a lot more...
drag and drop + wifi file transfer is just soo much better
I can put a 700mb 720p HD movie on the playbook, connect it to my TV via a $6 HDMI cable and enjoy the movie in less than 1 minutes
on the ipad it will probably take me 1 hour plus a $50 ipad to hdmi adapter to do the same thing (after that it will probably say it doesn't support those small 720p movies format...)
The playbook battery is not as good and the browser feels abit laggy (with flash on), but at 1/5th the price of an ipad I thought the playbook offer much much better value
btw...i never really cared for apps..i have 4-5 apps on my iphone and ipad. To me it doesn't matter if apple has 20 millions apps available...all I need is ONE GOOD APP that can do the job, I am not going to download 50 apps that do more or less the same thing..
