My husband bought me my first blackberry playbook, not knowing if I would ever use it. For a person who is not really familiar with electronics, I was able to use it right out of the box and it was simple to add other things I wanted. I do most of my computer "work" on the playbook while snuggled up under a blanket on the couch, instead of sitting at a desk. Some other tablets I checked out did not work with the sites I liked to go to but the playbook tablet had no problem. I "killed" that first playbook, but bought another (exactly the same) within a couple of weeks.
