What's going on with Mike Lazaridis's PB ?... It looks different than ours. Is that OS 2.0 improvements or something other?.

Just curious what others think with that layout.

He could be running BB10.....wouldn't surprise me if BB10 is floating around on PB's in Waterloo

That's App world i think, saw a photo elsewhere... Or maybe not looking closer. Hmmm.

[FSeverino]

it looks so small next to his head...

That photo is of Mike introducing the PlayBook at DevCon 2010. That's what the prototype looked like. Here's the video:

Doh (10char)

Weird. It appears to have the panel names like OS1 - ALL, MEDIA, etc.

Actually, after a second look, it looks more AppWorld tabs like Top Free, etc.

that was a piece of paper stuck on top of a fake playbook. They had nothing at the time to show...

Appworld has two tone Grey bottom and multi-colored top with something happening in the upper left but not across the screen?

Wouldn't that be funny if it was really true?

[si_chindo]

I wish they would allow the PB to have custom themes.

[BBplaybookJS]

Maybe it was a retirement gift?

actually the entire thing was cardboard, like those fake cardboard TV's they put in entertainment centers at furniture stores

Was just about to say this.

[toffeenose]

It was actually a prototype Kindle Fire.....!

[diegonei]

Way to go! Confuse the noob!

As said before, it was an early, pre-release version of the PB. The software in there never saw the light of day.

[ralfyguy]

It was loaded with OS3.0 beta

[Chrysalis1156]

ROTFLMAO!!! It sure does!

[soren203]

he was the ceo, he could build himself any type he wanted

[nasa25]

The real winner of this thread is the size of Lazaridis' head.

All else is irrelevant.

[FF22]

Maybe it was a retirement gift?

Ohhhhhhh. A non-working pb for a non-working former ceo!!!

[sleepngbear]

Mikey needs to cut down a bit on the carbs.

But what's more important is that he's still confident enough in the company to dump $50 mil on some more stock.
