Browser is a real browser, not a "portable" version. I use webmail to each of my email accounts and the PB works great for accessing all four accounts (with different web interfaces).
Love the screen, love the UI.
Like the mini-usb charging port, I can use the same charger for my MP3 player, my Droid and the PB
DISLIKES
Really dislike the BB Desktop. I would prefer to drag 'n drop files, or at least use Win Media Player synching.
Not enough apps, but there were'nt enough Android apps when I got my Xoom.
No kindle app is a big downer as is the lack of an app to kill apps in memory...I have to reboot frequently from kludged memory

Haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or not...I have 13 more days to decide.
I apologize if I am telling you something you already know, but you can use drag and drop. I tried using the BB Desktop to move my mp3 files and it kept timing out. But the Playbook shows up as an external drive and you can drag and drop using a Windows Explorer window quickly and successfully. I don't even use the BB Desktop except to do backups anymore.
