[0] App Store [PlayBook] PlayBook’s biggest arch nemesis; getting apps in the app store. The Playbook comes with some apps pre-installed which I thought was fun, only to find out that those apps are usually among the top 10 apps available on the platform. RIM needs to incent developers. Moving to QNX and supporting the Android platform will probably help here, but there is a lot of work to do. I was also pretty disappointed with the Android side-loading. I was hoping for another marketplace icon that allowed you to view into the Android marketplace, but instead you have to go into developer mode, and side-load these types of apps. End Users aren’t going to do this, RIM shouldn’t advertise it outside of developer channels. I did like that I didn’t have to hand over a credit card for a payment, I can just pay via Paypal, one less company that has their grubby hands on my credit card #. [iPad] 
“There’s an app for that” is actually really true. The size and support for this app-store is giant. I have yet to be disappointed when looking for an app.
