Nice to see he is still working on it. Are you going to be a tester?
No, I got rid of my PB a month or so ago.
Say it ain't so! :confused:Quote:

While I like to play around with this stuff, it shouldn't be that much work ALL of the time. I got an iPad 2 instead.
As much as I hate to say it. You brought up some valid points.Quote:

Then, when 2.0 came out, I still wasn't "wow'd". At the end of the day, when i sat down and took everything into consideration, it just wasn't the right device for me. I travel a lot too and like many who travel, I use Skype to video chat with my wife. I know I don't have to explain how frustrating that topic is when it comes to the PlayBook. No Skype is pretty much a deal breaker.
i wanna be tester lol
You'll have to either DM or Tweet to Chris Wade - @cmwdotme
I've had iPads, and to be honest, I don't need that many apps, and I love the multitasking more on the PB. Browser on PB is better because of flash support. And most of the time I just use the browser anyway, or bridge to my BB. So the PB is perfect for me.Quote:

I missed that as well......for about a couple of days anyway until I got used to the iOS way of doing it. Instead of gestures I just gotta hit the home button twice and then choose the app that I want to switch to.Quote:

There is only 1 website that I can think of that I browse on a regular basis that I have to seek out a PC so that I can view the page.Quote:

Side by side bone stock right out of the box, the only edge the iPad has over the PB - albeit a pretty big edge. But once a jailbreak is applied to the iPad the PB is lapped in in no time.Quote:

when it will be released ?
Who knows? Cmwdotme got a BB10 Dev Alpha device so my guess is he has been messing with that thing. Feel free to tweet to him.
I too feel that the Playbook is perfect for me. With the built in Flash I don't need an app because I can access the site directly on the browser. Now sometimes there are browser compatability issues where the site requires a certain add-on. For example, DishOnline.com requires a Widevine media addon to watch movies online and the add-on in not available for PB browser.
Is it too late to get into this.
Not sure, but I think that the DingleBerry project has been abandoned or put on hold for awhile.Quote:
