- Few weeks ago noticed the PB in the back near the netbooks --just a lonely demo with no display.
yesterday, two playbooks set up at the front end of all the tablets and another one within the tablet isle --definitely way more focus. Gone were all the HP touchpads (except for a couple).
And.. There were folks gathered playing with it.
I wonder if interest is building ....?

- I think I heared once in the news that Pb is the only tablet accepted with in the U.S. and Russian Government. Much more safer then ipod.08-13-11 08:22 PMLike 0

As far as interest building, maybe it is. However, I don't think Sprint would be backing out of the 4G launch if the PlayBook's prospects were materially improving.08-13-11 09:37 PMLike 0 - Just spent the evening with a Rim friend. Can't disclose much, but good things are in the very near future. PlayBook and OS7 are going to be "looked after".
I was told that within 6 months I would have my reasons to return to Blackberry. Looking forward to the developments.08-13-11 09:41 PMLike 4 - Just spent the evening with a Rim friend. Can't disclose much, but good things are in the very near future. PlayBook and OS7 are going to be "looked after".

And maybe Sprint isn't going to be so quick to announce that they'll be transitioning to LTE and jeopordize all of the new 4G Androids in the process of rolling out (all WiMax). Sort of like, maybe, RIM not wanting to tip it's hand too much about rolling out QNX in phones when they've got all of these OS7 phones rolling off the line right now.chiefbroski likes this.08-14-11 12:40 AMLike 1

- Nothing changed at the Best Buy's I go to with Brampton being the worst.
Do you know what I saw today? Apple, hp & Toshiba representatives at Heartland location promoting their Tablets & Notebooks.
Where's RIM? Let's just put PlayBook aside, they just released their Flagship Model, the Bold 9900!?!?!08-14-11 01:07 AMLike 0 - Just spent the evening with a Rim friend. Can't disclose much, but good things are in the very near future. PlayBook and OS7 are going to be "looked after".

Yep. And the employees at Rim are feeling that even worse than us. Right now Rim isn't a real 'fun' place to work. But there are supposedly improvements being made and we the consumers should see the benefits of this within the next 6 months or so. I can only hope that is really the case.08-14-11 08:15 AMLike 0 - The US aspect only has to do with encryption. It doesn't impact the fact that there are already thousands of iOS devices in use by the government (I work at a US government lab, and iOS devices are very popular). RIM faces an uphill battle in the tablet space there.08-14-11 08:39 AMLike 0
- kbz1960Doesn't MatterI don't think the playbook is going to make any kind of a come back until after it is finished or that "SWEET" update comes. Anyone that really wanted one all ready has it and a lot of those are getting frustrated waiting and waiting and waiting including myself. Yes being even later then a first adapter I thought that by now at least basic function would be on it by now.
The question is after all the goodness is finally on it is it going to be too late?08-14-11 09:16 AMLike 0 - I don't think the playbook is going to make any kind of a come back until after it is finished or that "SWEET" update comes.

I have been playing with a HTC Flyer and right now it is a much better device than the Playbook is. This is because it is completely full featured. You can do anything you want to with it. No need for waiting or excuses or schedules or promises. I also like HTC's custom UI because I hate stock Android.
Whatever HTC has up its sleeve for the Honeycomb-based 7 incher will be even better.
RIM has a very short window of time left with me. Play with a HTC Flyer and see if you don't agree with me.08-14-11 09:22 AMLike 0 - I already went, but ended up on the iOS side of things. My buddy from Rim said he doesn't blame me.
On a lighter note he is going to try and get me a 9850 to try out to see if that may bring back into the Rim fold prior to the QNX phones launch. I guess like with all things Rim these days I now get to wait and see.08-14-11 11:51 AMLike 0 -
