Or maybe they descided to make the App just so their inbox won't be flooded again by requests
I hope the executives won't be pissed off. It's part of their job to deal with this and I am sure they can easily ask their secretaries or IT system to do the filtering for them. (we are talking in terms of thousands of e-mails only, not millions) Instead, they should now feel the need for the application and react to it positively. They should be happy that there are so many new potential Playbook users that they should tap into.
The petition e-mail is also written in a nice and polite way.
I am not sure it if it's done this time. But in future, we can organize it so that e-mails are sent within as shorter duration window (e.g. 4 hours, although it might not work for all timezones).02-02-12 08:10 PM - Amazing! The power of the internet!
I think our next move should be this: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...awards-694183/

Vote for Playbook!! Or anything from RIM.02-02-12 08:22 PM - It shows that there is a demand for their product and that investing time and resources would not be a waste for them. 2,000 may not be a lot of customers for them (sure is a lot of emails and an amazing response from a grass roots incentive started from a forum), but the people who take action are normally a small number compared to those who agree but for different reasons may not be as vocal. I am sure the execs know this and will now, at the very least, put the possibility of an app back on the table.
It should be interesting what Skype decides to do. If it works, maybe there should be polls on other big company apps. There is a few I would like to see, so I am sure others want unavailable apps too. Of course, right here and right now, we should be focusing on congratulating the hopeful users of Skype for Playbook!02-02-12 08:25 PM - It shows that there is a demand for their product and that investing time and resources would not be a waste for them. 2,000 may not be a lot of customers for them (sure is a lot of emails and an amazing response from a grass roots incentive started from a forum), but the people who take action are normally a small number compared to those who agree but for different reasons may not be as vocal.

I completely agree!! 2000 emails are only a small percent of the people that take action. You can bet the actual amount of people its probably 10 times the emails they received. To not speak up and not let them know how we feel would be ridiculous. This is why things don't get done and why bad people get put in office, kill millions, or become brainwash into the idea that one small ant can't make a difference.02-02-12 08:48 PM
