BlackBerry® PlayBook™

You might be right, but after reading some of the posts, RIM have just mucked up as they are rigerous with how they are dealing with handerling of WirelessN protocall where as other tablets/phones let you handle wirelessN how you want, so this makes the  PB work with highend routers and not very well with some home routers.

Are you connected at wireless N?? and have you tried doing a speedtest from your PB??? be internesting to know what speeds other people are getting

I tried the clear all and it does appear to work, even though it stays on the screen with all the buttons disabled. It would be nice if it confirmed completion, but what I think it is doing is when complete, checking if there is anything to clear, and because there is not (I just cleared all) It disables the buttons. Definitely opportunity ity for RIM to provide better feedback to a user's actions. 

For the Argus site it does not appear to be well designed, and I suspect the company does not detect the PlayBook as a tablet or chooses to send all tab,ets to the mobile site. This is not really a function of the browser but the way the website was coded. another opportunity for Argus to provide ide a better user experience.  It does seem to remember your last choice so if you go back (without clearing cookies) you do go back to the full site. Kudow for Argos doing it right.

Thats good to know Thanks After clicking "clear all" my buttons are disabled as well, but if i then close the browser and then open it again and go back there the only button disabled is "Clear History". So I was not sure if "Clear Cache", "Clear Cookies" & "Clear Local Storage" are really being cleared, I am thinking they are only disabled in the first place cos you have cleicked the "Clear All" button and not cos they have really been cleared????

I can't get this site to work properly on playbook OS 2.0.1.358 .  Once you get a map on the screen, you should be able to slide the map around within the frame, but you can't. Could be that I just don't know some advanced gesture for making this work.

I only have a cheapie b/g home router and I get the same speed with speed tests as my desktop, 2.5 Mbps down, 0.45 Mbps up over speed capped DSL.

I was able to type lowercase into the website using OS 2.0.1.358's browser.

Unfortunately, it seems that touch gestures are interfering with mouse drag controls the website is expecting, however it does work if you're very careful. I used the navigation and zoom controls on the top left with better results, touch and hold. Try not to screen drag or double tap as that will get interpreted by the PlayBook first.

I would say it's not so much the fault of the browser but the difference between touch screen controls and websites designed for mice.

Embedded video support on ign.com appears to be broken. The ad at the beginning of each video seems to work fine but then the video feature freezes at which point I can only hear the audio but can't see the video. This used to work fine on the previous OS; I'm using 2.0.1.358. 

I notice the same behavior when using BlackBerry News client with IGN. If I watch the same video that didn't view properly on IGN on YouTube.com instead I am able to watch the entire video problem free.

If you click the floorplan it can't open it and just wants you to save the file quickassetstream.aspx as the pb does not have a compatible way to open it. Think this will be looked at?
