I've been holding off because the desktop size limits functionality, but manufacturers seem to be moving beyond toys. I think we're right on the cusp of seeing some industrial strength printers geared towards hackers/makers/hobbiests. This one on KickStarter seems to be pushing the conventional size boundaries, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/re3d/gigabot-3d-printing....

RIM Ports Native Libraries to PlayBook NDK, Including Boost, Box2D and Erlang
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/native/documentation/oss.html
With QNX being POSIX compatible, it makes sense that a number of C++ libraries would be easily ported to the PlayBook. But the breadth of libraries and runtimes showing up is pretty surprising. Lua and Erlang (presumably to make CouchDB possible) are interesting additions.
