Blackberry Playbook is unofficially dead now..

I had an earlier post about the Blackberry Playbook, an alternative to the iPad.  It was just released and initially seemed promising, until RIM made the mistake of not integrating a way to add your email, social contacts and calendar into the device.  A big strike against it.  Now a couple of more that might sink it completely before it gets started.  Verizon has not decided whether or not it wants to distribute the Playbook at all in it's stores.  The final strike is that for some unknown reason, Hulu has decided against allowing video streaming to the device.  With no email support, 4G network availability and no high quality video streaming capabilities, what's the point in this tablet.  Everything potentially good about it is missing.
