I had hoped that the Playbook would mark the start of a new beginning for RIM; one in which developers and software designers were treated well and given the proper tools to create stunning apps and utilize the power behind the Playbook (WTF is taking so long with NDK!) and, most importantly, treated with respect. Sadly, its become increasingly clear that RIM hasn't learned anything.alegs likes this.08-10-11 09:30 PMLike 1 - Or they learned to hold back the NDK, App integration until its close to be perfect from all the bad press they have recieved when the playbook launched.
Although i would probally never use IM+ (early thirties here) i know i would have when i was younger when i was whoring it up in msn, icq and yahoo
Either way Rim needs to stop resisting recognizable apps developers.. if anything they should be letting most of them through since the biggest complaint is the lack of apps..
Apps? Buggy? They can fix them with updates once they are out!!!08-10-11 10:31 PMLike 0 - I received a response from Shape about the status of IM+ for the PB.
"We have no news from RIM until our last conversation. We will wait until 15th of August and we will notify press and our users on what is going on."
Like they said before, the ball is in RIMs court.

Am I annoyed that more apps haven't come out for it yet? Sure..
Am I ticked off at RIM for handling this situation with Shape so poorly? You bet!!
But to say the Playbook is "a waste of time and money" is just stupid, in my opinion. It's a great little device and it has changed the way I live and work.

I haven't taken my laptop out of the house since I got it. And having the Android Market on it now just makes it all the sweeter. Was using the Android Kindle app today..

Again we have the confusion between the device itself and what is on it - which admittedly is lacking for the moment. Unfortunately we have - especially in this continent - a culture of impatience and instant gratification. I never regret having got my PB - and in a few months, will be really happy with it....and happy to have been part of the growing experience. That's just me...to each his own....08-12-11 12:27 AMLike 2

- Cute analogy - but it doesn't apply to me or countless others. I don't know what you require the PB to do for you. As for me - I do far more than just stare at it. It's VERY useful to me now and, when the apps and native PIMs come, it won't make much difference. Oh yeah - it'll help me show off my Ferrari and blow everyone around me even more than it does now!anon(767240) and d3adcrab like this.08-12-11 12:59 AMLike 2
- The analogy doesn't really work because it's exactly what most Ferrari owners do. They don't usually buy them to drive, they buy them to say they own one.08-12-11 01:06 AMLike 0
- Do you realize that you are using android(google) apps. Is that what RIM is going to. I don't buy apple products for rim's apps and vice versa. The playbook doesn't hold up to any of the other tablets. The Galaxy tab 7 inch is more usable than the playbook $200 cheaper and have a micro sd slot. The playbook is a waste of money. If it was worth it they would sale more and people would be loving them.

I think you should change your name from "falconeight" to "flame bait"...
Go sell your Playbook and leave the rest of us to enjoy ours. How about that?08-12-11 06:49 AMLike 3 - Do you realize that you are using android(google) apps. Is that what RIM is going to.

- Do I realize I'm using android apps? What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I realize I'm using android apps, dummy. I installed the Android player, didn't I?
