Yes, the new iPad looks like to have a wicked screen, but I think the playbook is better cos :-

7" Form Factor - fits nicely into my works jacket

A true Multi-Tasking OS - Not the half hap hasserd on the iPad

Integration with the BB Phones - How does the iPad integrate with the iPhone???

Browser - True HTML 5 support unlike the iPad - and studies to back this up.

PIM Features - Best in Class.

Now the iPad has better hardware (As you would expect) but nowadays it’s all about software, and personally I think the Playbook wins hands down in this regard. The only thing the iPad has over the Playbook is the ecosystem for buying Movies/Music is better.

Yes it has more apps, but in general the apps for the Playbook are better in my personal opinion.
