Stopped by the RIM booth to ask a few questions you guys had in the "what do you want us to cover" thread.
There was no new information about the torch. It is GSM only at this point. No timeframe for a CDMA version.
I got hands on the Playback. Pretty cool tablet type device. Very thin, and smaller than an iPad. Processor is a dual core TI cpu, 1GB RAM, and either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage. Current model is wifi only, with the ability to talk to your existing blackberry via bluetooth. This link gives access to your blackberry contact lists and email. Cell support should be coming later this year. Sprint was mentioned to be offering a 4G version this summer.
The user interface was pretty slick, and very fast. Multiple applications and windows could be open at the same time, and you just flicked between apps, sort of like alt-tabbing in Windows. It had multi-touch features, such as pinch zooming in and out.
I have some pictures and a movie I took of the UI that I will upload when I get back to the hotel.
