Are you unsure of why you need a tablet at all or is it just the Playbook you are unsure of?

Well hardware for one...99% of the hardware in a PB is better than the iPAD. The QNX software alone is enough to sell me for
1. True multitasking
2. Flawless operation
3. Better performanceHowever, in some previous threads we have discussed the whole camera quality and why it is/is not better for one versus the other. Quality versus the traffic throughput.
That's a starter for you.

Until you can get your hands on both to try them out, why make a decision?

I've played with the ipad2 at the apple store. I intend to do the same with the Playbook at a retail outlet

Playing with them in the store may not be a great comparison. In a store where they are typically either mounted or tethered to the counter it can be difficult to really know how it will feel. I've played with both the Galaxy Tab and the Xoom in the comfort of my own home (My brother works for Verizon and brought them over to show me). The Xoom was just too big to use comfortably without setting it down. The Galaxy was very comfortable. It doesn't look as good for video, but was a more usable size to me. The Xoom is approximately the size of the iPad and the Galaxy is the same size as the Playbook. To me that makes the choice clear - Playbook. It has better specs and will be more comfortable (and portable).

Playing with them in the store works just as well. You should still be able to get a good feel for them. At Bestbuy, i played with the ipad and it wasnt tethered to the little black device. There was a long link attached to it. I hope they do the same for the PB.

My wife recently played with an iphone and bought it... only to return it for a Torch the next day after she got home with it [was kind of interesting as she found all the things the iphone didn't do as well as BB... but I digress].
The problem is that in the store, you're spending time on a device that other people are waiting to use, so there's always some pressure to put it down again (if you're at all courteous ;) . You can't really spend an hour with it to get a good feel for it - at best you get a cursory first impression.
To be honest, the $20 restocking fee for the iphone was worth it for us, so that she could spend a couple of non-rushed hours looking through it and making up her mind.

Good point, you really do not find the true ins and outs untill you get more quality time with the device.
