Yes Apple is on a roll, but let's not forget that Apple flirted with bankruptcy at least once... no one is immune.
I just got a 16 GB PB for $199 and yes it us a steal for a high quality device.
Looking back, RIM was not ready for this market and should have stuck to its core competency: secure email devices and good phones.
When giants like Samsung, Sony, Motorola, Google and more - all struggle against Apple and/or Amazon, one cannot be shocked to see RIM fail.
It's all about the ecosystems these companies built: apps for iPod/iPads, books for the Kindle. RIM is building its ecosystem, we'll see where it takes them, but it may be too late for the tablet!
My 2 cents and 1st post. :)
