    I got my free PlayBook today! Delighted with meself!! Love it so far!

    It comes with an American charger but I've a tonne of chargers here anyway from other smart phones.

    Tablet is very sleek and fast. A bit heavier than i expected actually. Also, comes with Need For Speed HD, which u can output to HDMI on ur telly to play it full screen!! Unreal! Especially for free!! :D

    I still haven't heard anything from there, is there a blog anyway or anything like that with updates as to how they are getting on?

    Well they have their own blog here: http://blogs.blackberry.com/

    and the developer blog here: http://devblog.blackberry.com/

    If you are on twitter, you can follow all the usual suspects:
    https://twitter.com/#!/BlackBerryDev
    https://twitter.com/#!/asaunders


    But tbh, they're under severe pressure. I have mates who submitted their app for approval ages ago and got nothing. Actually one submitted on the 9th and just got approved for App World today, but still no word on the PlayBook.

    I think I was lucky in the way that I got in early before it was that widely known about. So I think mine sneaked in early and musta been in the first batch!!

    Yeh I have to go find some patience I think, its just I know that there is one thing in it that it might fail on so I'd like to have some feedback on it so I can resubmit it quickly.

    Well done on getting the app accepted and the playbook by the way.

    Cheers! I'm absolutely lovin it so far!

    I'm hoping theres some way it can interact with an android phone though. I know there's Blackberry Bridge, but thats only for comms between blackberrys.

    I'll also have to resist the urge to try actually put android on it. OS 2.0 itself seems decent enough, especially for media. I just played the sample HD Video that comes with it, and the speakers are actually class, as is the video quality!
