    You misunderstood them, they never said that, that's just UNFAIR! At the end of summer they always only intended to slash prices on the device, not deliver the native PIM and e-mail to those that paid full price back in April.

    Get over it. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, I love my playbook as it is & any updates will come as & when they're ready to be released. I'd rather have an update that has been tested correctly with no faults than have something not tested properly & is then released with errors just to satisfy moaning minnies like yourself

    All good things comes to those who wait!

    Let's get the facts straight.

    RIM never said "late summer."

    RIM said "summer."

    Because no one trusts RIM everyone just assumed that "summer" meant the last day of summer.

    It turns out that summer really means "some unidentified time after October 18. "

    Does RIM send their updates out to developers to test or is it all in house? Just curious. I know Apple releases OS major updates early to developers before it goes gold. 2.0 should solve some of the PB shortcomings but it may be too late

    Good things may come to those who wait but also time waits for no one, wait too long and miss out..

    From all the praise Windows 8 is getting. It seems MS has may havewoke up. If they can get a scaled down version of Win8 on a tablet that runs Office and some other applications. If it's not priced out of this world RIM may can kiss the Enterprise tablet base good bye, heck Apple & Google would probably lose some sales from it also.

    so anyone who complains is a person who hath nothing better to do.. and are to be ridiculed?? sad that is.

    The playbook is a 1/2 finished device that is 6 months old.. while we should of and did know it was unfinished.. we were informed that this would be brought up to speed over the summer. DID NOT HAPPEN!. What are we supposed to do.. stiff upper lip and all that crap..I hate to be lied to...

    Don't forget, summer begins in the southern hemisphere is a few short months. Maybe we will see an update during that time frame.

    I'm also angry about that. Maybe they are working on a special version that lets us fling PlayBooks at the co-CEOs.

    co-ceos announce certain things late, and deliver them very late.

    About angry birds, I think we will never see it natively on the PB. Unfortunately.
    1-so much bad publicity about the death of RIM
    2-it should be here already
    3-SuperMonkeyBall was announced 2-3y ago for the first OpenGl BB phones. Never made it.

    Angry birds are flying south for the winter.

    Crazy to think not having a particular game installed upon release has probably been a major drag on PB sales.

    LOL. That would be an awesome game. ANGRY Playbook OWNERS. Fling Playbooks at corporate pigs that scream "steady cadence" and "end of summer".
