I wonder how many decades the faithful held out hope Sony would produce a new deck...

- yep had to look it up myself on the web... never heard of it, Yugo's never been around this parts where I'm coming from, but looks like a nice projekt to customised a cheap hotrod to me.
Dead cheap to fetch, stick a big V8 in to the back and roar your way and never care what other's say.
Where I'm comming from we used to do the very same thing with ex-Army Land Rover, what a great joy and torque this beasts do develop, no need for lots of Horsepower but lots of Torque, just unstoppable.

As a matter of fact, while FCA is launching a new rear-traction alfa (it will also distributed in US & Canada), BlackBerry is about to dismiss its best-operating OS... from a person owning a Z30 and an alfa romeo...

BlackBerry OS 10.3.3 scheduled to be released in March 2016 | CrackBerry.com
If and when BlackBerry fails to come through with platform updates focused on security and privacy enhancements in 10.3.3 feel free to equate that to the PlayBook BB10 promise. In the meantime you just look ridiculous and petty.

The problem with the bigbadwolf's attitude is it has no room for use outside his own little narrow world view. Betamax was not a consumer success, therefore Betamax should have been killed off regardless of any proffit to be made outside the consumer market where people were willing to pay a premium for better quality or a special use case. I used Betamax at work for instrumentation recording for years when there was no equivalent capability available. In all that time I used VHS at home because the quality was good enough for my use (TV) and I wanted access to the large programme library.
What people need to accept is there is also a niche market for BB10. It is not a market that needs the latest hardware specifications, or the largest application library. But it does need a kind and level of security that even BlackBerry can't deliver on Android, nor Apple on iOS, nor Microsoft on Windows phone. It is a small market, but like the Betamax market over these many years it is one able to pay a premium price to get the features they want. If BlackBerry can continue to tap into and profit from that market by making additional production runs of exiting devices, and making a few updates a year they would be crazy to leave that money on the table.

We won't get new features at all and that's the truth neither the update to the runtime. The runtime is probably a sacrifice for going on with Priv and having deal with Google. From a marketing perspective it's bad to say that BB10 is maintenance mode, but hey it's better to say that they will only offer security patches and not anything else, than for them to announce something and then don't deliver it at all. Their phrasing of "current runtime" in the announcement leads some to think that they will keep up with the latest Android runtime which isn't happening.
Anyhow, we're looking at another PlayBook here folks.

But is true, people who needs smartphone to be 24/7 on Facebook are buying only Android and IOS smartphones.
Posted via CB1001-10-16 09:19 AMLike 0 - Really? In the past two weeks I have had disucssions with high security enterprises who have just started rolling out BB10 devices to their employees. I guess theye are getting devices from the returns department at Walmart.01-10-16 09:23 AMLike 0
- Betamax enjoyed a long and presumably profitable niche market for high quality multi-track audio and instrumentation recording. With two pieces of equipment about the size of a video cassette recorder you could record six hours of four audio tracks, two digital CD quality, two analogue but essentially the same quality, or better if you prefer analogue.

Posted via CB1001-10-16 09:25 AMLike 0 - You're wrong. In Romania for example 2 weeks ago many online stores had many Passport devices on stock and 2 days ago I just ordered the last BlackBerry Passport SE that was on stock in a trusted store. People are still buying BlackBerry 10 device and BlackBerry services.

My bad, sorry. Almost no one is purchasing. I'd love to hear they need another production run.DrBoomBotz likes this.01-10-16 09:30 AMLike 1 -

I keep using them and still try to promote them when feasible.
The rest is the hands of the Market, BlackBerry and maybe a more powerful source. :-)
I do not regret the investment I did. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. As I kept a dual platform approach, using iOS devices as well, I guess the "app gap" was never an issue for me.....and if in the end we might have to migrate to Android Blackberries to enjoy their security and other BB10 migrated components, let it be. But I will use BB10 for as long as possible and supported......
