This is going to be 2 months too late to compete with the Android flood

I would like to see a good number of apps ready for Playbook
before its launched. This apps list forms a main deciding
factor in Playbooks success or failure.

Yet nothing in that android flood excites me. Galaxy tab is far too expensive, Archos 101 and 70 are missing features and have a few bugs and most of the rest are cheap tat. HP using windows 7 automatically puts me off that too leaving only the Playbook. A few other Android tabs sound promising but I'm avoiding them, like android phones unless they use later than 2.2 and if they do use 2.2 Im not wanting to be at a carrier or manufacturer's mercy waiting over a year for an update. Look at Sony's X10. It was promised 2.1 and while some sort of rollout was attempted, it was broken and pulled. Basically they're still on 1.6 and now even the promised 2.2 is looking long in the tooth by the time they get round to it. Sony screwed X10 owners worse than any other company but its repeated across the android range. Unless it ships with 2.2 or later I wouldn't recommend touching it nor consider it a worthy attempt as its imcomplete.

Have you see Adam by Notion Ink? it will ship with 2.3 and have the feature that other tablet can only droll at the moment...

sanjeevdr – We recognize the importance of a readily available stable of apps in time for launch, that’s why we’ve offered a free PlayBook for developers who submit an approved app. You can check out the SDK here, and if you’re interested you can start building your own apps - http/us.blackberry.com/developers/tablet/index.jsp?IID=DEVTAB1201
