RIM is not a credible player in this market based on my reading of this review. They are a year plus behind, yet they all but promise that there will be multiple form factors (and therefore screen sizes) for PlayBooks. Have they thought through what that means? More developer complexity. Or some disgusting, fugly AWT-like layout manager hell. If there's some enormous development matrix that publishers need to deal with in order to get their products working with a maybe number three player, RIM is doomed. Seriously, I don't think anyone there understands how to launch or grow a platform or do quality product management, which often requires making tough choices and sticking with them. E.g. three sets of APIs, recall... (Android support for app "tonnage".)
