Yes, I know, I am a Citrix bigot. Here is Brian Maddens take on the Playbook, all in 4 short tweets:
My Blackberry PlayBook arrived today. How's this for a VDI client (esp. compared to an iPad)? Stay tuned... First experience with Blackberry Playbook: It needs a software update, 326mb, mandatory before continuing. <http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23SureAin> #SureAin'tAniPad Whoa. The Blackberry Playbook tablet doesn't have a native built-in mail, calendar, or contact apps? Yikes! Back to my iPad. Shortest review ever: Blackberry Playbook is pretty, but worthless. (And the same price as the iPad?!?) <http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23fail> #fail I've moved on.

One of the execs is starting to talk about getting better *tools* for the sales droids (who all currently have BB's...Bolds/Curves/Torch (we are using BES 5.x)). Has anyone tested this setup using the bridging between the BB and Playbook? Has anyone done this and then used the VPN client to connect to their home network and then run some sort of VNC client? Pros/Cons? Thanks as always!
