Either Heins didn't get the right info - then fire the fools who advised him BB10 could run on the PB - or he's just a weasel, in which case just fire the CEO! :)
Here's a timeline of BB10/PB announcements:
- 2012 - BB10 is coming!
- Late 2012 - BB10 will come to PB after the phones are released
- January 2013 - Heins: "BB10 will come to all PBs!"
- May 2013: all BB10/PB related materials disappear from developer conferences
- June 2013: Heins: "Tablets will be dead in 5 years (but PB will die first)!"
- July 2013: Heins: "No BB10 for PB because it's not smooth enough, blah blah... (we fired all our PB devs or they left so there's no one to work on it)"
- August 2013: Heins: "PB? What's that, peanut butter? Does that go well with blackberry jam?"
When you have a very limited new platform with just two phones and a tablet, and you go around telling the world the tablet will be part of an emerging
ecosystem of devices and services, then you later slip in a line saying it won't, you look like a flip-flopping fool. I think it's not a matter of getting BB10 to run well on PB, it's a matter of allocating enough people to do it properly... yet BBRY with its thousands of engineers cannot do that.
BBRY should do the sane thing and leak the last working BB10/PB release. Let loyal fans and hackers work on it to improve it.
