Pretty damn impressive browsing comparison shown too, although as Engadget notes, I'm sure they cherry picked the sites.
Still...point being, Blackberry detractors are going to find something negative to say literally no matter what, but that doesn't change the fact that everything we've seen (from concepts to real demos to price rumors) has been damn impressive with the playbook. Of course it still is too early to tell, but in my opinion, this device is leagues ahead of the iPad or Tab.
Very nice demo. I'm not sure how easy it is to cherry pick sites. After all, he goes to Uefa.com, CBS, Adidas and the acid3 test. As RIM has no influence on any of those sites or their content, I'm not sure how valid the term 'cherry picked' can be.

The funny thing is that we're all cool with a new device having some rough edges till it gets debugged, and how much effort BB is putting into ensuring they control all the spin about the device...
Why is that funny? Despite claiming you want this to be good, everyone here can plainly see how much you want it to fail, and will find something to complain about, even when there's nothing worthwhile to say.

There's nothing wrong with a company allowing controlled demos until the product is more mature. Maybe in some fantasy world products are 100% polished many months before they're released, but frankly, those fantasy business owners would be idiots, because if they had something ready to market, they should, ya know, sell it.
Marketing spin is a constant source of amusement for me, whether its from Apple, RIM, or their loyal brandfans. However, I also want RIM to succeed - for competitions sake, if nothing else.
These devices are created to meet people's needs. And not everyone's needs are the same. So with all due respect, people should be encouraged to openly express their likes and dislikes with equal intensity. I have yet to see *any* device that meets everyone's individual needs , no matter how polished the "one size fits all" approach is...

LOL, I just don't understand the anger, dude.
You might be very surprised at what I think the mobile market will be like in a year...
you seemingly want to hate this product
Here is where the misunderstanding lies.
What you call hate, I call tough love.
The tech world is littered with great devices that started off as average ones. Those devices only became great through manufacturers' response to consumers' persistent and vocal expression about their products. That means *both* praise and criticism. The best products on the market today are the ones that have an ample supply of both.
scrolling is still choppy.
hope they fix that.
