Software is as important for computers as hardware; one of the reasons I got Kobo Vox because it looked like an easily hackable Android device, with lots of apps, and bright future. To me, it's well worth the slightly slower cpu and a lack of some hardware when compared to Playbook. AFAIK PB is not even rootable, and the future for its OS and apps looks very uncertain.
BTW, Kobo does try to be competitive: I think in the current FS flyer they list the Vox with a larger (25$, vs the original 10$) Kobo gift card.
