Agree. I seriously doubt if that OS update will ever see the light of day.
Fingers crossed for 2.0. I decided to take the gamble. $200 isn't chump change, but it's not that much either. Bought a PlayBook from Staples. I don't expect it to replace my iPad, but I still want to see what the fuss is about.
Thieves Make Off With 5,200 PlayBooks, RIM Confirms
A group of thieves made off with a truck carrying about 5,200 BlackBerry PlayBooks in Canada last week, Research in Motion confirmed Tuesday. The semi-trailer headed for Ontario reportedly was carrying merchandise with a retail value of between $1.7 million and $5 million.
As a Canadian working in tech, I am sad that another large Canadian tech company is going by the wayside.
The co CEO / BOD of RIM should be skewered for allowing this to happen. From the moment iPhone and then the other copies started to arrive on the scene, RIM was doomed from the start.
My guess is they stop making hardware and focus on software, possibly porting / licencing their BBM and BES software to other companies. I cant see them making any money on hardware anymore.

It's offensive to refer to the disabled that way.
and no, I'm not saying that as a cut on RIM
Disabled = retard?
It seems that it is you who is connecting the two. I would never refer to the disabled as retards.
