What Facebook Says About Your Potential Job Performance

David Strom gives 4 reasons why The RIM Playbook Still Sucks, even after the recent upgrade. From messaging inadequacies to a power button that is almost inoperable, David explains why he's not happy with the Playbook.

The commenters on this story vehemently disagreed:

Patrick Zimmerman II - Really still suck? This tablet has never sucked. I use my tablet everyday for work and it saves me so much time working in .xls and .doc files, O and i do all my power point with it as well. To me I need a Tool and not a Toy. Maybe Apple needs to join WOW then you would be happy. Good Job RIM keep the Tools that work for me coming. O and i don't need a app for that

From Twitter the reactions were mixed:
