Blackberry Playbook vs iPad 2?

[Max]

Hi, I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I'm looking for a tablet to use for college. On the one hand, my brother has an iPad 2 and it really is a great product; just as Apple says with its Mac's, everything just works. But it doesnt have Flash and it can be a little slow to load pages. But the screen size and ratio is amazing <3. But it may be TOO big for me, I want something a little bit more portable than a laptop.

On the other hand, however, I have a soft spot for the Playbook. I feel like this would be great for me too because; it's MUCH more portable, it's just as solid and reliable as the iPad (says every review I've read), and is just all-around a great product. But I feel like this screen is TOO compact and isnt a true tablet. Both products are priced the same, I would probably be picking up a 32GB WiFi version either way. I don't see myself downloading too many games, as I plan on using this for:

-Web browsing
-Documents/Spreadsheets/Powerpoints
-Maybe a little art when I'm bored
-Video calls
-Movie editing
-General productivity
-Finances
-Music and photos
-output to TVs and such

So...what do you think? BB Playbook or iPad 2?

P.S. I plan on buying an iPad 2 for a friend of mine as a graduation present, so maybe that should sway my choice a little or something?

P.S.S. I have read a rumor saying that Blackberry may be working on a 10" Playbook to come out before the holidays. Should i wait for that?

Thank you for all your help

It looks like iPad 2 would be more useful for you.. IPad 2 has all sorts of apps for the things that can help you with schooling, it has hdmi connection if you ever wanted to view from tv, browsing experience is awesome. It's a really good tablet. I got mine yesterday and haunt used my laptop since.. I'm not saying that this is better than a laptop but it does all the things I do with my laptop....I used my iPad for this reply just to let you know hehehe. Playbook on the other hand is alright but not as entertaining as the iPad.
