I've been hearing some radio commercials for the Bold and BlackBerry Protect, but haven't seen anything for the PlayBook since the first tv commercials. Those YouTube videos above are good, and the OS 2 one should be split into a few commercials, for each of the different features. It's basketball playoff season, RIM should take advantage and run a few commercials for the PlayBook..
Most people are in their house connected to their own little world and this "___" is best(Fill in the blank).
Most people have no idea what goes on in the "Whole World".
I clicked this post expecting to see "all you have is an ad" somewhere down the line.
I see it every day. It is so old, Skype, Netflix...I showed my friend a PB during the tablet fire sale at cowboom, a 64GB for $195 shipped.
He called me tonight and said"Hey, does cowboom stay on one thing all day?".
I said yep, was a sale, and he said "well with no Netflix I just couldn't make up my mind...I had a good one in my cart but I didn't order it and all I'm gonna use it for is the internet like you showed me".
He wants it for IP video at work to watch security cameras. Will never use it for netflix. Has a job, can't watch netflix.
Next year or the year after everyone will say I told you so. But, QNX, BB, RIM and TAT are not going to go away.
I'm no grade school child (CB won't let me say what I said. Stop censoring my opinion). What I said was I.D.I.O.T.
I have a 7 foot 5 inch satellite dish that is pointed at no subscriber (Dish, DTV, BEV, SKY, Europe, look that up), no carrier, not hooked to any wire off of my property and I have more channels than most of you put together from all over the world where most of you live.
I am connected! Free and legal. The only satellites I cannot pick up are because of the curvature of the earth and if you can fix that then PM me. They have fixed that, it is called IPTV...I have a "Earth Station".
Why don't you google "yankee495" and see my stand on the situation.
Anyway, before a troll comes running through here I thought I should speak my opinion world wide and RIM is in business.
They may not be "your thing", but "your thing" might not be my thing.
I didn't come here to bash one tab against another or a OS against another. Or a company against another...
The PB fits right into my hobby, business just flew out the window!
I have some of the best metal detectors in the world. I live in Jesse James territory and it is not impossible to find gold!
I have old trade post maps. "Trade post"=where people drop money. And back then it was real silver and gold, not paper like today.
RIM, stock value, is equal to what you would pay for it in gold. The new IPO from FB is worth it's value in paper.
I agree that RIM needs to do a better job of advertising the Playbook. I still get excited when I see a Bold commercial on tv. I wanna see some for the Playbook. I'm guessing maybe when they release the 4G version?
