performance: playbook
convenience: playbook
personal reason: ipad 2 because friends would love playing on it, you seem "cooler" when you have an ipad2. ipad2 is more well-known. if u just want performance, choose playbook. but when u want an accessory like all of apple's other products then choose ipad2. honestly, i wouldn't even buy a tablet anyways because in the long run, they are a waste of time. money is mroe well spent if u buy a netbook or laptop. there is nothing special about tablets. tablets are like a toy. just beefed up version of a smartphone. you get the most bang from ur buck, if you get an android smartphone such as the galaxy. i can run any app, everything without lag. i compared my samsung galaxy to an iphone 4. we were running the same apps and he lagged while i didnt.
in the end: apple is just an accessory to make you look cool. they ahcieved this because of their advertising.

inb4 grammar nazis arrive.
Anyways, anything made by apple is overpriced for the most part, you can always find something almost identical for alot less. I would definitely go with anything other than the ipad 2. If I had a choice, I would buy a tablet notebook, those are much more practical

well,thanks for your advise mate...but I already had a notebook with me,so that is not my concern,a tablet is easier for me to bring it every where i wanted but the only problem is that iPad2 can connect with 3g(which playbook do not) which make it more easy and do not need to look for wifi spot all the time to go online,but the problem is iPad2/apple product do not support adobe which make it rili un-cool because i cant play any mmo on it while playbook do support abode

Something like this http://www.amazon.co...t/dp/B004GIP598
Of course, you can get less expensive ones as well.
If you want 3g support however, that's a different story. ipad 2 might be best the best for you.

DO NOT GET A LAPTOP TABLET.
Oh man those things are the WORST!
The ipad and playbook are just toys. If you want something for professional drawing, get a wacom tablet. They attach thru USB and come with a pen.
I would not suggest any touch-screen related devices.
Why? (This is for drawing, strictly)
1) Very poor response time
2) Compromise between high sensitivity (a fly lands on the "X" in your screen and closes the window) vs. Poor recognition (You need to push sometimes more than once to get the request to go through)
3) The swivel head of the computer breaks. The support the head of the laptop has is a joke and it swings like a monkey back and forth.
4) Battery life sucks if you don't invest in anything Apple.
If you want a tablet to look like a hipster asshole with your fancy touch screen shenanigans and want to doodle with your index finger:
1) Get an Ipad2 to continue your douchebaggery because in the end, its more versatile, it has more apps, and fuck the use for flash because most sites use javascript now anyway.
2) Go into starbucks
3) start doodling with your index finger and pretending like what you're doing is extremely important
No but really, the iPad comes in handy. Like, if you don't already have a smartphone that can google shit for you. If you already have an iphone don't even bother getting an Ipad they are one in the same.
But dont get a playbook either. Just get a nice netbook. Nothing fancy, just a regular good ol' reliable netbook.

The ipad 2 is so easy in use and once jailbreaked it has no restricions, also it's true the ipad doesn't support Adobe (flash) but they support HTML5 a new common flash-like programming language, Flash can easily be converted to HTML5 with tools that are freely available for the ipad2.
and of course , it's pretty

I actually got a chance to play with the new Motorola Xoom a couple of days ago and I like it A LOT! I generally love apple products, but I played with this side by side to the iPad 2 and the Xoom blows it out of the water. I've always stuck with apply products because I haven't found another company that could produce the same low response time to touch. The camera is amazing and the HD Video Recording on it is stunning. The screen is also a good bit bigger than the iPad as well! The only thing I dislike about the Xoom is that it is running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) for the OS. I generally find Android OS very hard to navigate... but from what I understand of Android, they are very much customizable so you can make it how you like it.
The major downside though is the price. ~800USD retail! But I'll tell you now, the Xoom truly redefines the tablet market. Anything other than the Xoom or the iPad are, imo, a waste of money.
Do note, I am a bit of an Apple fanboy most of the time. I love my iphone, have had countless ipods, and my next computer/laptop will likely be Apple made. The xoom really blew me away. Go to an electronics store if you can and play around with one if they will let you. (I got to play around with the tablets for my new job!
)
