You're fighting a losing battle here. He's not going to let anything as trivial as the facts get between his tongue and Steve Jobs a**e.

I can still try. I'm not sure if he realized that the nook is an android device, that entourage edge and entourage pocket edge are android devices that are considered tablets in certain contexts.

So I only can give feedback about the sales staff in the ca. 10 shops I've seen in the last 2 weeks.
The attitude was such as "we've got some on stock. Do you want one? You can take your time, the stock will last for quite some time, demand isn't that big".
Just a snapshot, but extremely consistent in all the stores.
I'm no Apple fanboy, not at all. But the impression really was almost some kind of resignation, as if Apple already would have "won the war".
May be a German preference, maybe I've got the wrong impression. But to me -quite frustratingly, loving PlayBook and diversity in general- it really seemed that way...

That's impolite, and uninvited.

I'll be referring it to the mods.

I want to play with one of these...it seems like the best 7" on the market.

Have the recent software updates had a dramatic effect on it's performance? The original reviews were not that hot.

Please do, easier than fighting your own battles.

Actually, you're too late. Already had a PM from a mod asking me to refrain from pointing out your ridiculous fanboyism in such an offensive way. I shall only point it out in polite terms from now on.

Please stop disrupting the thread. And please make your posts about the argument at hand, and not other posters.

Thank you.

Your opinion of me is of no interest to me nor of any import to this thread.

I was pointing out that your opinions are informed by blind fanaticism towards Apple, which has a direct bearing on the argument at hand. Your attempts to brush that aside, however, do not.

I played with one yesterday. BN sells it as an e-reader first; 'the readers tablet'. It's next to the Nook touch in the store.

(and it has that dreaded 16:x resolution)
