And just like the Playbook, that site has crashed. Reliability is not Blackberry's middle name, no messaging for weeks in 2012, that's not easily forgotten.

Bit like saying a Nissan micra is better than a Bentley because they sell more..

I'm pretty sure I played with one of those recently, it didn't seem too bad but I got totally stuck with it, couldn't go back to the home screen! Actually asked the bloke in the shop in the end & he'd had the same problem & threw a few expletives about it! Then proceeded to produce some drag down menu which really didn't want to appear. Totally crazy.

My iPad has no problem with my WiFi.

Sure, my Samsung Tab and Nexus s phone has better Wifi signal, but they all work.

So, in comparison the iPad is worse for WiFi reception :-)

Apple must be in lots of trouble if Rim can produce a device better than the alleged best tablet
