If you are looking for a more flexible gadget that do anything like your normal desktop can-do then go for the ANDROID OS (samsung), and if you want a less-capable gadget then go for RIM OS (BB playbook)… its all up to you!

Can anyone here help me decide between the bb playbook and the samsung galaxy wifi s 5.0? TIA

Playbook 2.0 works great!
I super like the Messenger, Contacts, Calendar and the new Bridge were you can use your BB Phone as a mouse and keypad to type text.
