  im confused as to why this is hot

  
  
  Deals are marked by people as hot when they are lower priced than elsewhere, or lower priced than at an earlier time. It usually means they are viewed as a good deal. Conversely, deals that are "cold" are generally a poor deal. I hope this helps with the confusion.

  Thanks for that .... 58 hours, 30 pages and 1800 degrees later - you feel compelled to bestow your far superior knowledge upon us mortals ... Did you look it up on Wikipedia? Next youll be telling us that a Haddock isnt a sex toy .... (then again ...)

  The only thing that can save this is an Android ICS port.

  Whenever there is a Playbook deal some always come up with silly comments donouncing it to the level of junk. Have any of you actually used one over a period of time? At £129 for 64GB it's a no brainer, got be the the best deal in tablets yet.
  This is better piece of hardware than Nexus 7 in every respect barring the so-called quad-core processor in the nexus. But how many application have been developed so far to squeeze the power of a quad core?
  Playbook screen has lower resolution than nexus 7 but has much better colour, brightness and contrast.
  Both being 7 inch, Playbook screen doesn't waste screen real estate like Nexus 7 (the stupid soft keys and notification bar of android eats up into the screen space)
  Build quality is way better than nexus.
  It has the best stereo speakers of any tablets I've seen so far (quite a few I own) and the speaker placement in the front is great
  BBOS is much more fluid and intuitive than Android. Every task is performed with just a swipe rather than digging to find options buried in the menu.
  It plays majority of the music and video formats
  Supports flash and the native browser is very good
  Has a good quality back camera (records HV video) and also has HDMI in case you prefer to connect to a HDTV (Nexus 7 lacks both)
  Where it suffers (against android) is obviously in the apps front. There are plenty of good gamess available though (Gameloft games cost £1).
  7 inch form factor is portable and best for playing games (also good for ebook/comics reading, listening to music or watching movies alone, 10 inch is better for web browsing)
  It's a no brainer at the price just for playing media, reading books, web browsing, and storing your films/music/documents (if not for anything else).

  have they updated the features on this yet or is it on the way out? i was interested in getting this half a year ago but read it doesn't support many mkv files and that BBM was not on the device.

  That's a fantastic price if they honour it. This means the 16-Gb is now the same price as the 64-Gb. Shame I bought the 32-Gb a few weeks ago at £149.
  
  Great device by the way, i love it

  I'm not sure if it is wise buying this. I had a quick read of some recent reviews and the initial feed back I got was that this is not up to scratch with its reasonably priced competitors. The samsung 7" may be a better option especially with the special offer cashback. I have a feeling microsoft is going to bring something out which is competitively priced which will make the current tabs drop prices.

  Limited Android compatibility but a good screen and great sound. I use mine for video/audio/internet and does the job just fine. If you are looking for the basic's this has got it. If you want to pile it high with a **** load of apps then pass this by as that is its Achilles heal

  The Surface that was demoed is going to be nowhere near this price, the rumours are likely to be false.
  
  I would say the Nexus 7 is worth the extra £30 even with 56GB less storage if you're looking for a general purpose tablet and don't specifically need the extra space.

  For £129 can't be bad as a second tablet as have the XOOM and wouldn't mind trying a different operating system.

  Great screen and is a lot more stable than it used to be (holds on to my wireless signal now). Still very little in the way of normal apps without you being a tech genius and sideloading etc which I tried and failed to achieve.
  
  No Lovefilm or Netflix which would have been ideal. No Kindle or Words with Friends without jumping through hoops.
  
  Has got Twitter and Facebook.
  
  If Blackberry support it going forward it will probably improve because the hardware itself is clearly high quality.
  
  £129 for a 64GB is hot.
  
  PS. Without a case it will fit into the average man's inside jacket pocket - This I like as it means I can take it to the pub to stream the footy.
