I have one of each. I got a 32GB Playbook and a 32GB microSD card for the Vox which I bought first but once my kids started playing Angry Birds, Cut the Rope and reading color Vox kids books I kind of lost it so I got a PB32 for myself. My wife and kids use the Vox more these days but I still use it at times.
There is no Overdrive app for the Playbook but hopefully they will repack the Android version into a .par file in February if BBOS 2.0 finally ships. I am running the beta.
The Playbook Kobo app won't show Vox only books which is too bad. Perhaps one day...
The PB is faster for sure being dual core 1GHz but it needs more memory. Android Java apps seem to use memory more efficiently than native QNX apps. My PB runs out of memory easily while my Vox never does even with half the RAM.
Both are small players really compared to iPad and the Kindle Fire seems to be selling like hotcakes. Lots of other Android choices too but few in the $199 range that compare.
People have the Vox running Android market now so it has he app edge. Even after BBOS 2.0 the Playbook will still require app makers to put a .par version in their appstore so I am not sure how that will go.
I am in Ontario Canada so I like to support both as local companies.
