Blackberry Playbook to Counter iPad?

The new Playbook By Blackberry is told to match the Ipad 2. but i doubt for a minute that blackberry could match any smartphone/tablet.
The main Reason lots of teens have Blackberrys at the moment is because of BBM, the instant messaging for Blackberry. Basically you can only talk to you friends/family/co-workers if they also have a blackberry.

The Playbook in my opinion doesn't fit the spec needed to be placed against the iPad 2.

In respect Blackberry have come a long way. but Whats the deal With Everyone Copying Apples Product?

Let The Arguments commence; Who do you think is better?
