Then if that's the case, all RIM has to do is to not say "coming soon" in any of those countries. I wonder how a law such as that can be enforced, since the phrase "coming soon" is open ended and gives no real expectation of when an event is about to happen. I can see if it were "coming in two weeks" and then it didn't. Coming soon is open ended, therefore unenforceable. As such, it is not fraud since no expectation has been set on a date. Consumer fraud would be better identified as a company promising to do something that it doesn't do. RIM hasn't given a date other than "summer." So what is meant by summer? Whose summer? Australia? North America? With these questions unaswered, how can RIM be late when in the Northern Hemisphere Summer hasn't started and in the Southern Hemisphere it's six months away?
Summer starts in June 22 in the Northern Hemisphere. As of your writing, it's June 10th. Early summer is not September 23rd, and neither is June 10th. How can something that hasn't started be fading? And again, I haven't seen one single announcement giving a time as "early summer." So it's not late, since it's not summer. Period.:cool:
Really, as my daughter loves to say....chillax. It's the weekend....have a beer and then a romantic evening.
