Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader
Waaaay back in September of 2010, Amazon.com announced that it would offer a Kindle e-reader app for RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Unfortunately, the company hasn't yet fulfilled that promise. But thanks to Amazon's recently released Kindle Cloud Reader web app, you can now access your library of Kindle books on RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. The app runs in your PlayBook browser and it has a few "quirks", specifically it doesn't work well in landscape mode, but it gets the job done.
Blaq
The Blaq for BlackBerry PlayBook app currently offers the best Twitter experience available on RIM's tablet. Update your Twitter status, "retweet" and reply to other users, and view images and web pages without ever leaving the app, all via Blaq's unique interface. The app also supports multi Twitter accounts so you don't have to keep logging in and out to access different Tweeter feeds. And you can easily post images to all of the major image sharing services, as well as lengthy URLs thanks to Blaq's in-app link shortener.

Vevo
Got a PlayBook tablet and a hankerin' for some free music videos? If so, Vevo's the application for you. The Vevo for PlayBook app gives you access to more than 45,000 music videos from a wide variety of popular artists, along with exclusive interviews and "live" performances, all of which can be streamed in glorious 720p HD for free.

Playagram
The Playagram app is best suited for iPhone-toting PlayBook users, since the Instagram photo sharing service is exclusive to Apple's iOS platform. And though Playagram doesn't actually let you post photos to Instagram, the service's API apparently doesn't allow for uploads, you can view popular photos from your friends and other users, see photos that were posted near your location, comment on and "like" images, search and find users, and more. The inability to upload images is unfortunate, but Playagram still offers the best Instagram experience on PlayBook.
