"Playbook"? Really?

RIM has announced its new Tablet (cue Moses): The Playbook.

See more here.

Specs look good. Form factor OK (but really, why do all these "media devices like this and the iPad have a 4:3 aspect ratio?) No word on pricing, carriers or any of the other fence-sitter issues.

Nor, notably, any much info on ebooks. DRM should be the tipping point (unless you're Apple).

I'm not a fan of tablets, but if they pull this off -- No DRM, great OS experience, good to great applications available -- then maybe I'd be inclined (oh, did I not mention getting the price point right?)
