[aklug] Blackberry Playbook a non-starter

Sounds like the Blackberry Playbook Mike mentioned a few ago is out, and
it's starting out w/ poor reviews.

Seems none of it's email functionality works unless it's tethered
through a Blackberry phone.

While ATT&T apparently allows tethering through a Blackberry phone, they
aren't allowing the "bridge" application the Playbook needs for email
capability (other than webmail).

It just might be DOA.

I'm kind of disappointed. Nothing Meego out there and I really would
prefer not to have Apple or Android. QNX on the Playbook sounded like a
possibility.
