- My vote is on B) simply because that's how Apple likes to operate. They like to have people waiting and enviously drooling over their products..generating buzz on the street "Man..i want an iProduct soo bad!" "I already got mine..I waited in line for days. Sure, I went thru a pack of adult diapers..but it paid off!"03-16-11 02:41 AMLike 0

i recall RIM saying something like 80% enterprise split, so if they are working with those CEO`s (and they are) then im sure all your misguided worrying will be shortlived.03-16-11 02:49 AMLike 0 - There are intrinsic reasons as to why Apple launched the Ipad2 prematurely as there are 4 week wait times...Steve Jobs knows what's around the corner...and he has good reason to fear the PB...as it will be over stepping the Ipads capabilities....Once the PB has it's day with the press at it's official launch....RIM is going to introduce technological leaps that will shock and aww the mobile world.....QNX is in a league of it's own and it will be made very clear....high level executives who are a part of large developer/media/content firms are fully aware of the impact QNX technology will have.....
The signs of very large corperations leveraging the amount of time and investment into the platform(qnx/pb)

Seriously, I guess the unwarranted optimism kinda slays me. To hear all the "RIM can do no wrong" choir members singing in here brings throws up all the red flags when a company that has been disappointing in many areas over the last few years still hasn't done anything but hand out promises.
I have been negative and I need to tone that down. Yea I admit that. I apologize guys. I am cautiously optimistic about the playbook; and not because the devices own merits but because I have no faith in RIM. They have done a deplorable job with this oppurtunity. So what that this device is going to be great- I know it will. But history is full of examples of superior products not making the cut, having nothing to do with product itself. We all talk trash about ipads, and yea its just a toy. Talk crap about Jobs all you want, Apple is carting off bales of money to the bank. All because of successful marketing, finding a niche and- yes- keeping the sheeple drinking the koolaid.
What was the last RIM marketing we have seen? The laughable bbm flirt campaign?
OK I guess I have made my point. I imagine it has become irritating so I will back it down a notch. Its just that blind fanboi optimism, to me, is second in error only to the hating trouble making trolls.

- I've been checking the sears.ca site daily. I'd input "Blackberry Playbook" in the search bar and it would direct to a full page ad of the Playbook with coming soon written on the bottom right. Now checking it I get a small banner that reroutes me to the Playbook website with "Learn more" instead .
Could it be Sears got fed up with all the inquiries?03-16-11 06:39 AMLike 0 - I've been checking the sears.ca site daily.

When I google 'Sears Playbook', the first link used to go to the Coming Soon page on sears.ca, now when I do it, the website on google says it's going to take me to the PlayBook, but it takes me too the electronics page. I think they got annoyed of us.03-16-11 08:37 AMLike 0 -

At present their are countless large content providers developing and solidifying a position on this platform which appear to be highly advanced..within a short time span we are going to have acsess to technology on this platform which has no peer, as it is being made clear that it is already being backed with heavy support from companies with massive finacial resources...and with that investment, who do you believe they will be targetting the adoption of the PB to with marketing resources given their already huge investments in it already.
I have no issue with my posts being declared as hyperbole...as I am fully aware of how much of an impact this platform will make on the consumer/enterprise front
With the amount of time and resources these companies are investing in the PB....who do you feel they will be backing with marketing funds as per adoption of the PB.....take your pick! But it certainly won't be Apple,Google or microsoft!
And I should also mention...these are massive multi-national corperations with a lot to gain seeing the PB have mass adoption!

- My posts may appear as hyperbole and grandiose in nature...however, they stem from the value I see and envision in the platform...on the enterprise/medical industry front. Companies such as eUnity and SAP have been investing vast resources in the platform and have been developing cutting edge, state of the art mobile applications for 5+ months now that we have been aware of...as that is a testament to the platforms potential and early adoption rate on the heavy weight developer front. The applications they have been devolping are highly advanced with capabilities they are leveraging which are exclusive to QNX platform....they have had acsess to very advanced and sophisticated sdks and api's for sometime now...

RIM Sticks By March Launch Date for BlackBerry PlayBook Despite Rumours to the Contrary
At a recent UK event showing off the BlackBerry PlayBook, a RIM representative, Steven Bates, reiterated their plans to launch to launch in the U.S. by the end of the month, even though we’ve heard rumours that it wouldn’t be in stores until April 10.Last edited by dsquared2; 03-17-11 at 06:35 PM.
