I came across a great tool developed by another developer that really speeds up deploying and managing apps on the PlayBook. You can get it from this link :
http://gridbook.org/pb-app-mgr/
What I do now is use Ripple to package the app and then I drag the new BAR file to the browser window running this tool which will deploy and launch it.
Hope this helps.
