That is super cool!
First Android Beam (so handy and quick!), and now this. it's amazing the ways sharing information and data/documents keeps improving wirelessly!
(Bump was so flawed and glitchy I found)

thats pretty cool. Android Beam is an awesome name. Way better than Thunderbolt lol although I get it.
Hopefully if they come out with a 10" PB and future BB software I'll purchase one.
Any idea on why tablets don't have SD/ card slots? It would make travelling with a DSLR much easier along without the need to bring my laptop around when I'm away.

That is the ONE feature I wanted in a tablet! I had to get a netbook for my Europe trip last summer for that reason only pretty much. I heard rumours that this 2.0 update would have that option, with the dongle or adapter to fit in the micro USB slot but no :(
I would have even purchased a smaller PlayBook instead of the 64GB (price difference was significant when I first bought it) if it had that feature considering most of the space on my PlayBook consists of video and music.

Most android tablets have microSD, and some have full SD card readers.
I just hook my camera up to my tablet through USB, and all the camera pics pop up in the gallery. I can import, or send through email, dropbox...etc
Look for a tablet with host USB feature, which again, a lot of them have.

That doc sharing looks amazing! But, I wonder how much setting up you have to do. Considering it was accessing devices a foot or more away, I would be scared walking down the street or on the subway and it interacting with another device. With Beam, they have to be very very close.
But very very cool none the less. That type of collaboration screams for a larger screen.

Apple makes a shatload off selling their higher memory products (I remember an article someone posted in the iPhone thread saying they mark up their cost 10x). RIM is trying to do the same. Androids are way too competitive and each manufacturer knows they need the micro SD card slot or they'll risk losing business to the next guys.

Great Article on why Blackberry Playbook is the best tablet value on the Market, at a $199 price point for the 16gb, you can;t beat it.
Also good Video on predictive text on laybook that's now built into OS 2.0.
Pitch rocket:

Its speed is also evident when executing Javascript-heavy functions; rarely does the browser fail to load a page faster than the iPad 2. When comparing the PlayBook’s browser to the new Ice Cream Sandwich-only Chrome for Android, the BlackBerry trails by an imperceptible degree.
I don't know why they would use the worst, slowest browser on Android as a comparison? Why not use the stock browser, like you did with the Playbook to have an even comparison? Stock browser is much faster, smoother than Chrome is right now.
Most of the 'advantages' have been standard fair, or available through apps on android for a while. Swiftkey, remote, integrated fb/twitter..etc.
If you are going strictly on 'value' (price) then maybe the article is more believable. But judged on those features, sorry no.

But why not have that stuff built in, why should you need to download additional apps?
