[Opinion] another lie from Blackberry - misleading statement

Aside from anything else, I don't think it's true. There's certainly a LOT of apps on BB10 already, and they've been pushing extremely hard to get devs working on the new platform. What apps are you missing that strongly effects how you use your device? What apps specifically do you want from android or iOS? I'm willing to bet that you'll find a BB10 app that will do what you want. Maybe not the exact same app, but the same functionality. Unless you're just ******** you don't get the exact same games, in which case you're a terrible human being.05-17-13 07:40 AMLike 0 - Not to sound like a debbie downer, but I do have an official skype app sideloaded onto my PB. Works fine too. Been there for like 8 months. Never had any problems with it. The issue has always been that you couldn't video call from it, but that's not the same as the app not working. But whatever, you can believe whatever you want to.mkelley65 likes this.05-17-13 07:42 AMLike 1
- They said shortly after BB10's release, they would release a version for the Playbook.
They said they were committed to the Playbook for the last two years that was their motto.
1.0.1, 1.0.3, 1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7, 1.0.8
2.0, 2.0.1, 2.10
They've also released a successor (the LTE model), added PlayBook compatibility to BES etc. At the end of the day though, be realistic here ... the PlayBook tanked. Should it be their primary focus from a business perspective? Should they pour all their energies into a tablet that sold 2.3 million units in about 2 years, or phones which will likely sell more than that in a quarter.
Either they'll try again with a new model (and the old users will get the update), they'll give the os to existing users and quietly bow out; or they'll go back on their word. But so far, they haven't.
I too recommended the PB to ppl because of the promise by RIM to move it to BB10.

When I get asked about the PlayBook and BlackBerry 10, I say, "sometime this year but they haven't said when".Jonesy1966 likes this.05-17-13 07:45 AMLike 1 -
And if its fully-featured and runs slow on 1 GB, we will get complaints.05-17-13 07:47 AMLike 0 -

- How DARE a new platform with about 6 months of development not have more apps than a platform that was for some years the most popular smartphone OS on the planet!

I really love my PB, using it daily, but it's the little things that are missing that cause most strife. And most of these things could have been fixed over the last five months by a single software geek locked in a dark room.
Perhaps BBRY would be better advised to increase native app production for there products than trying to emulate Android and cut a lot of corners.
Personally i'm not sure what message it sends when a company says 'hey, here's our new OS and it's the future and to prove it were going to emulate an inferior platform so you can use inferior software'05-17-13 08:00 AMLike 0 - So far everything has been spot on according to this rumored road map B10, U10, R10 Shown in Alleged BlackBerry 10 Roadmap for 2013 - N4BB. BBRY is still working hard to perfect OS 10 with the Z10 and Q10, there are loads of complaints about different issues, there will always be complaints anyhow. It might be a little premature to start making promises about the PlayBook at this stage, but there's a tablet rumored for Q3 according to that road map, that may well be BB10 for the PlayBook.05-17-13 08:05 AMLike 0
- Sometimes I wonder if you guys have ever tried using other equipment. Playbook browser sucks and crashes big time. Sideload? Into the Gingerbread engine? No proper maps app for where I live (Outside of NA, things get really sucky for maps unless you have Google Maps), GPS is absolute crap on the PB. Can't attempt to lock onto anything inside the house, my Torch, Bold 9900 and my S3 were all fine. Social apps are more crap on the PB, productivity apps when compared to the competition look abysmal (Evernote). No Teamviewer or Logmein apps, no BBM. Even if they were looking to put out a new tablet, I wouldn't even mind but it seems they are just same old same old. Yeh I know it was on me to recommend the PB, that's on me. Trust me that won't happen again.05-17-13 08:06 AMLike 0

on that note my galaxy nexus didn't feel any different from my nexus s just a oittle bigger I felt stupid for upgrading
the galaxy nexus doesn't run 4.1 any better than the nexus s with half the ram05-17-13 08:14 AMLike 0 - I'm curious to see where this lands. My gut says they'll be able to get it working decently. I doubt it will be as fast as Z10, but if it's faster than PlayBook is today in terms of browsing and apps (cascades instead of AIR), I bet most will be happy.Barracuda7772 likes this.05-17-13 08:21 AMLike 1

Barracuda I get you. I'm just saying these are the things that frustrate ppl and put them off of BBRY.
The Z10 is lovely no doubt, love how BBM looks on that and they have improved on fluidity in BB10 but if we scour these forums we can see some serious oversights that should have been covered long time. In any case I will wait and see how OS11 looks whenever that comes.05-17-13 08:29 AMLike 0 - I still fail to see how this is a lie.
If you make and deliver on a set of commitments with one not reaching deadline yet and you say "we have delivered on all our promises" are you lying? I don't believe so.
Edit: I suppose if we go back 2 years and look at "60 day email" and the sykpe pictures it is lying.05-17-13 08:29 AMLike 0 - if someone asked me to get a bunch of things from a grocery store and I knowingly didn't buy everything on the list but said I bought everything when I got back would I not be lying ?05-17-13 08:33 AMLike 0
- Taking BlackBerry, PB and the emotion it seems to create out of the conversation for a second.
I promise to do A,B,and C by January. D will be done by April. A,B, C are done in January then in February you say I have followed through on all my promises. Are you lying?MasterOfBinary likes this.05-17-13 08:42 AMLike 1 -
