Blimey that does sound like a bargain.
Are these any good and how do they get on working with Mac stuff? I have a Macbook Air for work (running Windows
) and a Mac computer at home.
How easy is to transfer music, films, word docs,etc, etc,

Haven't a clue how well they interact with Macs, but I believe there's a program for Macs that works the same as the PC version.
Transferring music and films to them is a cinch as the will actually appear as a network share so on say my windows network I just find out what ip address the playbook is on and type \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx , where the xxx's are the octets of the ip address, into File explorer in Windows and the playbook share opens up on the PC there's a media folder and it's just a question of transferring stuff into there.
I got mine (I have two now) to use as a cheap device when on bike tours. It connects to wifi and Bluetooth for remotely accessing the web. I liked the interface so much it prompted my purchase of the BB10 device the Z10. Blackberry have promised that this year BB10 will be available FOC for the playbooks.
