If the April 10th PlayBook release date holds true....
pretty much RIM can kiss their a$$es goodbye. A big FAIL releasing this thing in the first place, let alone AFTER the release of the iPad 2. After everyone who wanted a tablet, a luxury item, not a necessity for most, buys the price-reduced iPad or the snazzy iPad 2 at full price or even the more powerful XOOM, the Playbook will be selling about 102 units. All from hardcore crackberry addicts on this forum and maybe one or two company executives.
My question I pose to you forum memebers:
In a few years, when RIM is a former-shell of itself and has lost all of it's marketshare to everyone except for a few government agencies and high-security corporations, who do you think will be buying RIM?
Google? HTC? Motorola? - 03-03-2011, 01:55 PM #2

Oh boy, here we go again. 'Cept this time it's just a big fail, not an epic fail. Whew, that's a relief.
Market analysts expect RIM to sell 3.5 million PlayBooks this year. Do you know something they don't?

It will be interesting to be in a best buy or circuit city and see which of the two sells better.
I regret to say it but some of those could have been playbook sales.

- 03-03-2011, 03:17 PM #9 So let me get this straight, be sure to explain it slow, because I get confused when it comes to nonsense... Originally Posted by shimojunk

lmao, CC went bankrupt and is not basically online only. I havent seen a store since they came back.
- 03-03-2011, 07:07 PM #15 Yeah, they're the ones that put Lechmere out of business, and then Best Buy came around and returned the favor. Originally Posted by howarmat

Gotta be careful about condescension. Can backfire.

- 03-03-2011, 08:40 PM #18 I am well aware they have a website. The name was bought out. I recall reading about it the day they were 'reborn'. Originally Posted by kb5zht
