The first time I tried this I was sitting in restaurant in The Peg with my Blackberry. It wasn't easy. The small screen and smaller keyboard on the Blackberry aren't the greatest tools for writing. Today I'm on the BlayBook. So far, a much nicer experience.
The other day I was in another restaurant in The Peg and an email arrived on my Blackberry. I opened the PlayBook and what do you know, the same email showed up there. I figured I'd test drive the PlayBook for the reply. Well, things were going okay when I brushed something on the touch screen and my email reply was suddenly saved as a "Draft". Try as I might, I couldn't figure out how to open the draft to continue editing. Lunch arrived so I shut it down.
Fast forward a few hours and I'm sitting in my car back in Carman, the Blackberry notifies me of in coming. I check email on the Blackberry and, what do you know, the draft email that I started on the PlayBook is right there on the Blackberry. I was able to open it, edit it and send...from the Blackberry. Too cool!
I realize Apple is way ahead with seamless integration between iPods, iPhones and iPads but I still think the RIM stuff works pretty damn good. That being said, it doesn't change the fact that I'm darn glad I got out out my RIM shares when I did.
