new firesale of "pads/books" on the way

[ztirffritz]

Have they updated the Playbook yet so that it doesn't need to be tethered to a Blackberry? We bought one for our CEO and couldn't figure out how to get his email on it. Finally found that it had to be tethered to his Blackberry to get email. That works I guess...but couldn't they find a better solution? Reminds me of the Palm Foleo that was so derided that they canceled it a few weeks after it was announced.
