you know i do not get it what your problem is exactly. the inventory has been written down long time ago. so this is not like rim is taking another hit. everyone knows that previous management butchered launch of otherwise technically good tablet. i've read somewhere that about 4 millions tablets were ordered by rim. i would guess that most of the tablets are sold out. it also seems to me that many non-blackberry users do buy this tablet despite not owning bb phone and this is because of the low prices. It also seems to me that many do like it and some are outright surprised how good this little tablet is. rim is continiously developing the tablet. so it seems to me that once bb10 is launched early next year many non-blackberry users might consider buying bb10 phone if they like playbook. so again what is not to like about. would you rather see the tablet at full price and later find them trashed in the garbage or something. i am happy. i paid $300 for 64Gb last year and i do not cry foul because now same tablet is worth $100 less. i am happy that more people jump the fence and get this awesome device. the more tablets are sold, the more apps are in the app store so i am happy. and so should you. and if you want 2.1 so much just download beta. i've been running 2.1 beta for last few months and i would never say it is beta. it is very stable and works very well.The blood-letting continues despite the fact Research In Motion could capitalize on these sales by releasing BlackBerry Tablet OS 2.1 on Tuesday, 18 September 2012, and announce its pending release on Thursday, 13 September 2012. How many WiFi BlackBerry PlayBooks remain unsold as of Monday, 10 September 2012? And they expect the 4G/LTE BlackBerry PlayBook to face a different fate? Who in Hades is in charge? Oh, I get it...Satan, or Lucifer if you prefer, must be orchestrating this fiasco. What's that you say? Nero is accompanying you on fiddle?

But I refuse to drink the BlackBerry Punch; the kick to the groin was bad enough as the price was cut from April 2011 levels only a few months later and the decline continues. I was simply pointing out a possible explanation for this final push to clear inventory. After 18 months the original production run should have been exhausted already.
Now let's go outdoors and play in the sunshine.

The infuriating part of the set-up process was waiting for the tablet to boot-up.
