- where's your head at?
just spent a sh*t ton of money on tablets that don't do what we need? Buy more phones!
car not fast enough? Buy a f�cking ferrari!
some companies have budgets. have you heard of budgets? can you say, buddgggeettttt? good job!
I pity any company you would run. you would spend them out of business in one quarter.
your solution to everything seems to be, spend more money!
EDIT I tried holding my tongue, but I can't ignore repeated ignorant comments like those. And you ALSO have no clue what comparison shopping is! google, bing, or yahoo. try it
.07-13-11 12:19 AMLike 0 - It's a tough call. I was hoping that we would have heard some real evidence of progress. Instead, I heard a rehash of what was said during the earnings call. That's fine I guess because it was only a few weeks ago. But, during the earnings call, both these guys were more contrite and accepting of responsibility. I think they were afraid of losing investor support, and by implication, their jobs. That storm passed and yesterday they were both back to their old living-in-denial selves.
This does not mean that RIM won't execute better. But, if Berryreview is right that mail for Playbook has now been pushed back from Summer to sometime later this year, it seems to be some evidence that RIM is not executing well at all. Plus, Balsillie ducked the chance to put the email issue to bed when he denied having said that mail would be available 60 days from launch.
Plus, I got nervous on the email front when I heard yesterday that they were praising Bridge as the answer to Corporate IT manager's dreams: It solves the problem of lost laptops. A few weeks ago, they said that Playbook would not compete without native email. So, which is it? Do corporations want the bridge or do they want native e-mail? It seems even RIM does not know.07-13-11 06:52 AMLike 0 -
That's YOUR opinion. With "Push' email, I can download mail to the PB and view/reply on an airplane or where ever. I can then resync when I get connected again. Thus, I only need a connection to receive/send email.
Also, web email is ugly with limited features. RIM's will be designed for the PB and the size/features of the PB.
Get with it dude.07-13-11 07:33 AMLike 0 - Approximate availability of 3G/4G and native email with playbook administration service (so that playbook shows up on BES admin service like console is 3rd Q of 2011, Also QNX OS will be coming by end of this year, happy now?

It became religion at RIM that RIM's customers wanted/needed physical keyboards and that corporations frowned on employees using business tools for frivolous things like games (apps in general, really).
So, RIM make products that it thought its customers wanted and its innovtions centered on keyboard things: Suretype, Storm's piezo-keyboard the Torch's slider. So, RIM innovated but not in ways that really caught on in a big way. People wanted big screens and big specs, even at the expense of battery life.
The good news is that I think RIM understands the market now. I really do expect the QNX Superphone to be great.07-13-11 05:49 PMLike 0 - It's a tough call.

The best time to buy is when it seems the news can't get any worse. The product offering is strong and getting stronger. QNX is the future of mobile computing imo. I'm still debating but RIMM has stayed very steady at $28 a share despite reams of negativity.07-13-11 06:13 PMLike 0 - It's a tough call.
