I haven't mentioned the playbook in a while, but I've been reading about it in a variety of blogs and sites. This post at gadgetlab comments on the teardown from ifixit.
It sounds like the stuff inside is all good, but what bothers me is that the reviews this thing is getting are nowhere near favourable. All I hear is bad things about it, which is a shame as I thought it had a lot of potential with the ability to run android apps and the QNX OS which I'm told could be great for music applications.
If you remember, the iphone 1 reviews were not that great either, mostly because at the time Steve Jobs was saying there would never be 3rd party apps on the iphone (because he thought an app could break the whole AT&T's network and he didn't wanted that to happen, that's really what he said).
ReplyDeleteThat said I don't believe there's going to be a huge rush of developpers running towards the playbook, especially if the android interpreter is good.
