Blackberry Playbook vs. Microsoft Surface

As far as a multitasking tablet with lots of storage, which would be better for the price? I was looking at the Playbook on Newegg and am intrigued, especially since it costs less than $200: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA22A0XM8955

I would not get either, both more or less at a dead end for operating system and application support, and even though you can hack the Playbook to get the full Google Market on there, some applications still won't work. Try the new Nook HD models, or a regular Samsung or other tablet. My wife has a Nook HD 9" and it works great with full access to the Google Play store. The older Nook Tablet can run off a SD card to boot to a full Android OS.

Well after trying the Surface, I have to say I can't begin to express how frustrating Windows RT is. :lol:

I'm looking now at maybe purchasing an EVGA Tegra Note since it's a full Android 4.2 tablet that runs NVIDIA Tegra and is less than $200.
