At ZDnet...
James Kendrick's First Impressions:

* The device is light and comfortable in the hand.
* Construction is very nice.
* Rubbery coating on the back makes it a delight to hold.
* The browser is very good.
* Not as much lag as Android tablets I’ve tried.
* The PlayBook interface is better for me than that of Android (Froyo or Honeycomb).
* Interface is intuitive and very fluid.
* Power button is as bad as you’ve heard. It flat doesn’t work.
* HD video plays very well.
* Lack of apps is troubling.
* Gmail in the browser works very well.

((Me...)) I can't wait to Play with the book. He addresses things which I find bothersome with other tablets, and the Playbook seems to be okay in those areas. Naturally, I feel it's overpriced and well-noted issues will have to be dealt with before I could even think of purchasing.
