I may be a bit late to this thread but....

If my Playbook had the same apps that my iPad does I would toss my iPad into the trash. I like my iPad, of course, but I like the Playbook much better than the iPad. Browser is better and it's easier to navigate. The Bridge feature is nice, no data plan required for the PB. I use my Torch as a mouse and a keyboard which makes it easy to type on and navigate.

The downside is really the lack of apps. I have a bunch that I sideloaded from Android apps and that helped. More are said to be coming when BB10 launches and I hope more developers jump on board. It remains to be seen, though.
