- I don't know what others think but I am getting more and more contacts in my video chat these days. And it strikes me that there are a lot of new Playbook owners on the forum as well.
Again, perhaps I am wrong but Playbooks seem to hard to find because stores are selling out. I know for a fact that they are getting more because stores are taking orders from friends of mine. So the stores are expecting shipments.
I know this all has to do with the price but it seems to me the more PlayBook owners out there the better. Anybody else have the same feeling that our numbers are growing?09-20-12 08:49 PMLike 0 -
- I agree it is price driven but who cares why? The more people who use it will find out what a great deal they got. As RIM'S chief marketing officer has said, part of the sell of BB10 will be by word of mouth of BlackBerry users. The more people using Playbooks and liking them, the better the buzz in the community, and we all know BlackBerry can use some buzz, especially in North America.09-20-12 09:26 PMLike 0

Three days ago i met up with an old friend of mine, he saw my playbook and said he got one at the start of the year, I guess around the time when they first went on sale, but he couldn't even turn it on....That old red light blink problem, I fixed it up for him and updated to 2.1 beta and some sideloaded apps...he seems to love it...He has had an iphone for a long time....I am guessing after getting used to of playbook he is definatley gonna give BB10 a thought..I think, these playbooks are gonna work as a perfect springboard for BB10...Most of the people who ditched BBs was because of the endless complicated menus in BBs...
It could just be the circles around me...but that is what maters to me...more bbm contacts..just cant wait for BB10 to arrive..esk369 likes this.09-20-12 09:48 PMLike 1 -

And I would imagine it would take in terms of years to catch up to apple and android imho.09-20-12 09:57 PMLike 0 -
- At least for me, I have started using my playbook on the subway and streetcars during rush hours. I usually transfer my tv programs onto my playbook. It beats doing crossword puzzles. I think as many people as possible should do the same to get the attention for the playbook.09-20-12 10:31 PMLike 0

- I don't think the current playbook OS is good enough to market. I can't recommend the playbook to my parents or really most people, because I know what they want. The apps they have heard about. The iPad is really the only option out there for them, as the quantity and quality of apps blows even android out of the water.09-21-12 07:21 AMLike 0
- Writing off unsold inventory and slashing prices is not a marketing ploy.
Guess we will hear next Friday how things are going.09-21-12 07:30 AMLike 0
