- Not going to happen which is a shame. One can only imagine the programs / apps/ fixes that are sitting in someones junk cabinet at bb. How many man hours were spent over the last 2 years by bb employees - most of it went down the drain.
Bottom line is that we're stuck with an incomplete os that kindof works. Rip bb.07-16-13 08:09 AMLike 0 - Not going to happen which is a shame.

The big cats just saw BlackBerry flop at yet another endeavor and like the storms I & II before it, abandoned the consumer that trusted BlackBerry with their hard earned dollars. The S3 was aborted because the carriers learn from their mistakes unlike BB. Years back many companies, starting with key banks, dropped the BlackBerry standard in favor of BYOD and now the pendulum has swung so far that Iphones are being purchased and distributed as the official device. Seriously.... how much worse can it get?
much worse, for BB, as the stock price is so low the only thing keeping it from being purchased by a corporate raider and stripped for its parts is the protectionist policies of the Canadian government.msps likes this.07-16-13 08:53 AMLike 1 - Acksherly, my PlayBook browser is reasonably snappy. For my config, I've found a way of keeping any lag or hangs at bay (for me, using webmail, rather than the mail app, as my mailbox is rather large). And it must be a while, now, since I wiped and debricked, and I was only thinking last night, the browser was still quite peppy.07-16-13 09:21 AMLike 0

I know it's "hard" to get off the computer/ and or disregard posts or threads you may be following.... but get OFF the computer and get to work breaking the bootloader /cracking /jailbreaking those PlayBooks!
We PlayBook owners need you working on breaking the bootloader so the PlayBook can be modded.

Ekoore - Overview
The Python S3 is the most complete tablet that has ever existed. Thanks to its versatility offers the possibility to use as operating system: Android (4.2), Ubuntu or Windows. The three operating systems can co-exist to allow the user to select the operating system to start, when you turn the tablet. Where would this versatility, however, if you can not turn this tablet into a 12-inch touchscreen notebook? The keyboard dock has been designed to do just that!

IOW, more of the same. Probably just a couple and then that will be it. My "been burned too many times" side thinks at that point, they will keep the PB development team around doing nothing with full pay. You know, the way they did for years with the storm 1 OS developer.
How far has their stock price sunk now? By the way.... The shareholders are the ones the company is truly beholden to. They may have just patted Kevin on the head and gave him a doggie treat so he continues being their cheerleader but the institutional investors..... Oh, they will be a different story.
That sounds like they are paying people to keep quiet.
Wonder why they'd do that?
(As it relates to the PlayBook, I bet they found out MONTHS ago that BB10 would give substandard performance and they kept quiet as they were A: Trying to clear inventory of DEAD PLAYBOOK stock, and B: So as nothing "negative would come out about the BB10 OS.)

Everything Heins said, like promising to put BB10 on PB after the phones were out, were just lies to fend off the inevitable. BBRY needed to move PB's out of the warehouse and put a positive spin on BB10 phones. To them, at this point, the PB doesn't exist. It's the previous co-CEO's problem after all

He couldn't kill it earlier because it would look bad to the media, investors and corporate clients, and also make it look like BB10 development was grinding to a halt (what, lean-and-mean QNX needs 2GB RAM to run!?). I assume the whole of BBRY knew six months ago that BB10 wouldn't make it to the PB.

Plan worked quite well I must say. I fell for it hook line and sinker.

First purchases of BlackBerry branded products, not happy with the devices as is, not happy with being mislead aka "Lied to".
PS: Thorston Heins may think the PlayBook was on a prior CEO's watch but unlike the FanBoys who worship everything that is RIM/BlackBerry" customers whose purchasing decisions were based upon the CEO of RIM/BlackBerry promising a update and instead KILLING the device WILL remember what has happened.
Before I associated the RIM/Blackbery "brand" with PROFESSIONAL, BUSINESS CLASS, PROFESSIONAL type goods or services.
Now I associate RIM /Now "BlackBerry" as the exact opposite. My devices are only a few months old and I don't appreciate them KILLING off the PlayBook as they did.
Especially since they are sitting on 2.9 to 3.1 BILLION and are debit free?
