Josh Topolsky, late of Engadget, weighs in: (what is up with the baseball references from both Crackberry and Topolsky? )
Quote:
But the PlayBook isn’t hitting home runs just yet. The OS is still buggy and somewhat touchy. Third-party apps are a desert right now, if not in number, then certainly in quality. The lack of native email and calendar support hurts. The worst part, however, is that I can’t think of a single reason to recommend this tablet over the iPad 2, or for that matter… the Xoom. And that’s what it really boils down to here; what is the compelling feature that will make buyers choose the PlayBook over something else? I don’t have that answer, but that’s not what’s troubling me right now — what troubles me is that I don’t think RIM has the answer either… and they should by now.

Interestingly, Topolsky says the Kobo app is "more sluggish and less intuitive on the PlayBook than other tablets", I wonder how much time Kobo had with the SDK.
