I was thinking about this more. When I first went looking at the pb, the first thing I did was pair my 9930 with the pb at Best Buy. While I waited another week to purchase it, I was sold as soon as I saw I could read my mail on the pb and check the Memos and Calendar and Contacts. As soon as I broke the connection, the Best Buy model was clean and MY DATA was gone from it. What a great scheme and now Rim/BBRY blows it off as not much of a feature. Who are they kidding? What were they thinking?JeepBB likes this.02-28-13 08:47 AMLike 1 - don't know how it is in your area but in southern ontario a few months back, they couldn't give away playbooks. now, all of a sudden they're gone, not one store I've been to has them, futureshop, bestbuy, staples etc, gone!. its been mentioned here and I think it may be true. a new bb tablet with 2 gig ram is coming for future os 's be it 10 or whatever
TH has stated another tablet is in the works but it seems as if BB has not found the niche it needs to fill in order to get beyond the $199 price point that TH does not want to be in.02-28-13 08:50 AMLike 0 - SlcCorradoBlackBerryHey, what can I say, quoting a "genius of geniuses"

As for whether those features will comes in a future update - I have no idea. Rim/BBRY gives no hint. They have issued a blog which makes things totally UNclear and speaking of babble, they do an excellent job of saying nothing in response to the criticism about the loss of Bridge features. So no, I know no more than others and rim has not made any plans available so that I or others can plan. So I can continue to WARN innocents abroad about this issue. Hence my repost.JeepBB likes this.02-28-13 10:45 AMLike 1 - SlcCorradoBlackBerryBecause I'm free to babble as an old man (not as sad as some).

There are things in BB10 that are obviously nonsensical on a PB, like the phone software. However, unless the underlying PB hardware doesn't support the functionality, there is no reason to exclude it. If the PB got BB10 with the "stuff that wouldn't work anyway" taken out, I'm sure everyone would accept that the OS was "full" BB10.
On the other hand, if you start taking things away (such as the Hub, simplifying the UI, fewer multitasking Apps, etc), that could work perfectly on the PB hardware simply to ensure that the OS runs smoothly, then the OS has diverged and it becomes BB10-Lite, or PBOS3.0.Last edited by JeepBB; 02-28-13 at 01:44 PM.

If iPhone4 is fully capable of running that functionality, but it's been excluded, then those earlier versions of iPhone do indeed have iOS-Lite.
However, I'm not sure I buy that the reason for not having Siri/Maps on earlier iPhones is lack of hardware resources. iPhone4 is a powerful platform and I'm sure it can display a map as well as iPhone5. Unlike a speculative BB10-Lite, the reason for iOS-Lite is not to improve the user experience on earlier (limited?) hardware but act as an incentive for iPhone3,4 owners to upgrade to a new iPhone5 (and get the bonus of Siri and Maps). That's commercial common sense surely - to give people a reason to get the latest and greatest stuff?02-28-13 03:08 PMLike 0 - Slightly off-topic, as I'm not sure why Apple have entered the debate, but I'll bite.

but good point nonetheless. Its quite obviously a cash grab simple and plain.03-01-13 12:09 PMLike 0
