RIM PlayBook Won't Ship with Native Email
InformationWeek: BlackBerry will be required for PIM info such as email, contacts, and calendaring at first for RIM's tablet.
"One of the PlayBook's oddest characteristics is its lack of support for any type of email, contacts, or calendar management software. You see, in order to get those services on the PlayBook -- at least when it launches -- you'll need to tether it to a BlackBerry smartphone via Bluetooth. Not even POP3/IMAP4 internet email accounts are supported out of the box. You will only be able to grab email via the browser."
