Looks like there will be some competition for the iPad. BlackBerry will be releasing their PlayBook. No price announced as of yet and won't be available until early 2011, but if comic apps work on it (and I'm sure they will), I will have to seriously consider it . . .

Specifically mentions that it is "Flash-loving" which will give it a leg up on the iPad no?

I'd have to test it out first. I got a Torch at work now, and the touch screen sucks compared to the iPhone. If it's the same difference between iPad and PlayBook, no thank you.
