There was a traffic jam on the high road, so AI took the low road
Besides, RIM makes it sooo damn easy
Actually, taking the real low road would involve mentioning the two dicks from RIM that were heading to China but then decided to create a drunken riot on the plane over the Pacific. The plane had to head back to Vancouver with the two drunks manacled to their seats. The RCMP took them into custody and now they face charges and a restitution of $35,000 each to the airline.
... and, no, it wasn't the co-CEOs... but maybe these guys were in charge of international distribution of the Playbook.

My local Staples still has a Playbook display, and it still includes the sign telling potential customers that they will need to download the OS for the Playbook before they can use it.
Our display unit comes up with a screen asking to log in to a BB account which months of attempts using wifi, BB bridge on a Bold and setting up multiple BB accounts results in nothing more than some stupid error which after a while we gave up trying to fix.
Now it's been removed from display, we stopped selling them months ago.
I think AI should start a "Call of Shame" tab where they repost the most wrong posts posted on certain issues. I'd love to see a load of the posts stating the PlayBook would be huge and destroy the iPad. There are many other posts that would be great to do this for too.
I feel sorry for them. They should have taken their time and tried to make something better than the iPad, instead of just equivalent or worse. The main weakness I see in the iPad design is how hard it is to play certain games with a touch screen. If I was a competitor I would attack there.

There are actually certain games that become better on a touch screen.
A good example of that is World of Goo. The iPad version is the best version of that game ever made, better than on desktops or anything.
There are certain games that are of course better with a controller. I'd rather be playing PacMan with a joystick than on a touchscreen.
A wireless controller for the iPad, that is adopted by most companies and is compatible with almost all games that require it, would be a good thing to have.
{Giving them away for free} Just like Apple does with the 3GS!
Congratulations. You've kept your record of never being correct about a topic intact.
Apple doesn't give the 3GS away for free. They charge the carriers several hundred dollars. The carriers 'give' them away, although that's really a scam as every intelligent person knows.

Isn't it just AT&T in this case? And I wonder how much money tehy are losing. Of course, they gots me in a two year contract.
RIM deserve everything they get with the PlayBook. I can only imagine what lunacy led to making a tablet which can only view email when tethered to a BlackBerry... and then marketing it as a consumer product. Muppets.

Yes, hence the sell it at cost thing. They went straight to 100 from the original price and it sold like crazy, if it was the first big tablet at 200 ish I'm sure it would have sold well too.

DANG YOU, I was just going to post that one.
Now imagine that one from when the HP TouchPad died modified to read RIM and PlayBook instead.

Wouldn't you get drunk in their place too?

It was so obvious that these were going to be a huge flop. I don't feel sorry for any dumb suckers who bought one for full price.
Android abortion OS? We are still talking about the Playbook, right?
Except RIM licensed their Java.

Obviously - Siri wouldn't tell you where to get an abortion.
Thanks, I'll be here all week.

Blackberry playbook supports flash, and tells you where to get abortions! iPad killer.
