Questions about apps for BB Playbook?

[k_a_s_m_i_t_h]

i have a playbook so i'll try to answer your questions honestly.

1. i use my playbook daily for email, web browsing, book reading (with Kobo app), music, etc.

2. email, calendar, contacts, task, notes AND BBM will NOT work unless you have a blackberry phone. this is supposed to change with a software update scheduled for February...but i don't count on anything until it happens.

3. facebook app is available (pre-installed) on the playbook. But currently no skype or msn apps. you can get the IM+ app, which gets good reviews, but you have to pay for it.

i hope this helps

goodluck with your purchase!
