The last OS update seems to have improved some things about PB functionality, and new apps are coming out as mentioned [tho' whether many are very useful is another matter]. I suspect we'll see lots more apps and upgrades appear over the next few months.
My own beef has a lot to do with the availability of GOOD public wi-fi...most of the public points I've found are weak or seriously limited. It's VERY hard to find anyplace that allows downloads, and some places [Starbucks, seemingly] won't even let me go on Facebook. I can't find the software disk to set up wi-fi on my home router [never needed it before, so I left it disabled
] so it's a bit of a problem. But that's not the fault of the Playbook.
I'm not generally a bleeding-edge kind of guy, but I wanted a tablet, or a laptop or something more than my 9700 for mobile use. In general, I'm pleased with my PB, and I'm glad I didn't wait. AFAIK RIM isn't looking to release a new model PB in the foreseeable future [no iPad 2, IOW] so I'm not sure if there's anything to be gained by waiting...
