Suggestions for Developers of the Playbook

Question

So after a year of trying to come up with a good reason to buy one, I finally went out and purchased a playbook last week. There are certain things about the device, certain problems, that are not apparent when you're futzing with them in the store. The real problem with the playbook is the complete lack of context menus. All the other blackberry device have it (click the Rim Icon to the left of your touchpad now). The lack of this context menu eliminates an enormous number of functions that would make this device sing. For one...a big one apparently...photos. If there was a context menu in the photos app, you could simply select a folder or a photo and manipulate it, rename it, send it (email, bluetooth, facebook, twitter), print it (that's another feature I'll get to). Pretty much all of the media types on the Playbook could benefit from this.
How do you implement a context menu you might ask...simple...copy what you already have done with the Torch and Bold. Program the OS to show a context menu for an item when a finger is placed and held over said item for an extended period of time.
Rim is touting blackberry devices as tools not toys, but the playbook is neither. It's media apps are not robust enough to compete with toys like the Ipad, it needs a more interfaced connection to social media apps, bluetooth and email, a unified interface for media files and better streaming so it can stream content to smart displays (we have a Smart Tv in our boardroom and I can't get the playbook to share at all...although I'm sure someone will pipe up with a way to do it). It's business connectivity apps are not robust enough to compete with the Blackberry smartphones. This device needs native vpn  and the ability to be able to browse networks, manipulate folders and files easily and natively with context menus, and print...yes...print. It's a no brainer...even my digital camera can print directly to a printer...universal printer drivers exist.
I want a business tablet...Rim is the only company out there promising one. So far the only thing my PB has done well is showcase photo's for a presentation (not to the boardroom display unfortunately) and Angry Birds...which I have wasted entirely to much time playing.

And native power management. Something simple, like a setting to allow the device to warn when it reaches 10% battery and shutdown when it reaches 5%. Within the first three days I was subjected to the no charge-no ability to charge problem.
