- I don't see tablets as a priority for Chen's strategy (based on more urgent markets) so I wonder if there wouldn't be a possibility of adapting a hack of BB10 OS to a tablet? Couldn't it be done? There's already a dual boot on some android tablet that runs windows 8 too.
Posted via CB1004-18-14 02:25 PMLike 0 - Guys I trust John Chen and The Tablet segment is the fastest growing within mobile technology and besides there is no clear dominant player in this department . The categorical "No" that came to the tablet question in New York was just for peace and quiet while we weigh our options and not a "Thor" like pronouncement that tablets were dead! John Chen will do whatever it takes to make Blackberry relevant again and if a tablet can produce some sales an profitability within the medical field and consumers we will have one so have no fear and my bet is we will see a Blackberry Tablet sometime in the future because as they said "you can count on us to get it right" so the "No" answer was part of getting it right so guys have faith its coming!04-18-14 04:19 PMLike 2

I'm an Android user and not an Apple fan, but there is absolutely no denying that the iPad is without question or argument the clear leader in the tablet segment of the market, and they are the defacto standard tablet for businesses. You can't be in denial about that; the evidence is everywhere.
The other issue is that merely building a BB10 tablet wouldn't help, because a tablet is unsaleable without a strong app ecosystem behind it, and there are ZERO BB10 tablet apps. BB10 can't even do landscape mode at the moment, over a year after release. Tablets, without phone functionality, are strictly "app machines", and with no apps, you aren't going to get many people buying BB tablets. BB can't even go to developers and ask for support at this point - they've alienated a lot of their developers.
Maybe, if a bunch of things go really well, they'll be able to try again in a couple of years, but right now, a tablet would only harm BB. It would take development resources away from the phones (which still need all the dev time they can get), and another public flop would only reinforce BB's poor reputation with consumers.
Chen is wisely sticking to phones, and targeting the couple of markets where BB's strengths still have value. BB simply doesn't have the resources for a consumer play right now, not with phones and not with tablets.Last edited by Troy Tiscareno; 04-19-14 at 10:49 AM.
04-18-14 06:30 PMLike 5 - The original iPad Apple didn't publicly state it would get iOS7, BlackBerry publicly stated multiple times the PlayBook would get BB10, or the new phone OS. Apple didn't promise frequent updates and not deliver, BlackBerry did. Apple didn't promise to deliver various features at particular times and fail, BlackBerry did and failed. We beta tested BB10 to market and then were discarded. If you got the tab at fire sale price then fine you didn't take a bad hit, but early adopters paid full retail and we're delivered a beta product at best.

Posted via CB1004-18-14 06:32 PMLike 0 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterI love this comment around here. Should have done better research. As in where? The company so you would know that they make statements and then don't deliver? I think most early adopters took RIM at that time at their word that all these wonderful things were coming and most didn't or took forever. Kind goes along with buy it for what it can do today and not what is said. If most that bought it early went by that they would have sold even less.04-19-14 09:07 AMLike 3
- Same here I bought two BlackBerry PlayBook when $500+ even after that I bought two more when price $99
Bec I thought BlackBerry would not going ditch us like HP
But they did worst than HP
So even BlackBerry fan like me not going to make a same mistake unless BlackBerry make us happy by either release a lite version of bb 10 or have a free exchange policy to existing PlayBook owner to new playbook

The point is BlackBerry generated a lot of negativity in the market with the PlayBook and that won't go away even with a new device. They will still need to do something for disgruntled former users. They were considering this last summer then the chaos of another regime change had started and it got lost in the shuffle. Their are not enough of you BlackBerry apologists in the wild anymore to counter this.

Research based on promises.... ?
The BB10 platform isn't supporting a smartphone business, how would it do any better with a Tablet that relies even more of an ecosystem.
Posted via CB1004-19-14 01:12 PMLike 2 - You are one of the few that still use it... what does that tell you about the usability of the PlayBook ? Plenty of people still using their iPad2.

BlackBerry made a mistake by over promising And under delivering. It happens.
Having said that, I can see BlackBerry coming out with a market specific tablet. Say one specially designed for medical field, or one designed for emergency services etc. That way it might be able to sell well and still make profit without having to advertise to the masses.
BlackBerry currently is loosing money on its phones. It could stop selling phones and be profitable. It could sell phones only over seas and be profitable. There are thousands of configurations to make them profitable. They just want to do it by still selling devices in North America ..... and that is where it is getting tricky.
Right now they are focusing on getting back on track. Once they are doing better again, we'll then they will probably explore the tablet idea again.
Posted via CB1004-19-14 03:01 PMLike 0 - F a new blackberry tablet.....that from a person still using and loving his PlayBook, still rockin my 9900....when they failed to deliver their advertised upgrade to BB10, after all the money I spent on apps to support the ecosystem and help keep it a viable ecosystem, not to mention my original PlayBook purchase, after all the free advertising I gave them going around telling people F Android, F Apple, BlackBerry and the PlayBook are where it's at, I hope they crash and burn.....they were the only company that I was willing to purchase phones from until they pulled that crap.....so I will use my PlayBook and my phone until they no longer function, and unless someone else enters the market with a secure platform that fits my specific moral alignment when it comes to data mining, government snooping, and closed gardens, I'll be done with phones and tablets, all because of my experience with the BlackBerry and the PlayBook....I would rather just stop being part of the market altogether, once the devices I have shelled out hundreds of dollars for are no longer funcional.....04-19-14 06:54 PMLike 0
