Well the PlayBook relaunch if played right COULD be a bit of a biggie, BUT knowing RIM, it probably won't be.The only "BIG" thing coming is QNX, but I'm happy as can be my stock price is up!! The release of the latest devices will sustain some growth and get stock closer to where it should be all while giving RIM the space it needs until QNX is released. It surely isn't dead.

HOWEVER, we can hope. And even though the WiMax PB was cancelled perhaps the Verizon LTE one is still coming????08-30-11 03:28 PM - It'll probably also be cancelled, as carriers are losing interest. Sales have just been too poor, and its doubtful that a relaunch will help.Well the PlayBook relaunch if played right COULD be a bit of a biggie, BUT knowing RIM, it probably won't be.

October is when we will hear about the first quad core tablets, maybe even see some, so the hardware in the playbook will be too old to compete for attention.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-30-11 03:57 PM - I'm a firm believer that RIM's global push and rapid expansion is a big reason why RIM does not put to much of a PR focus on much of America's negative media sentiment, as they have a much more ambitious initiative underway. Over 225 carrier partnerships and a massive global roll out of some impressive phones, there is a much more pressing matter at hand.
RIM's PR in America can become a strategic focus as negative media attention is moved on to another party or issue in the US. There is no need to extinguish any flames at the moment as they have a means to extinguish themselves . OS 7 devices will have a good sell through in the US. That is a given. Once RIM is fully transitioned with QNX devices. "RIM 2.0", can then ramp up PR and a campaign of shifting perception in the US. This would be a huge waste of resources on RIM's part currently at the moment. They have to keep their focus on the much , much larger scheme of things! Which is the global picture. We live in a global economy and the US market isn't as critical as it once was.
Eventually media in America will move away from it's focus on RIM, and when key media outlets ride on a positive tone of RIM's state in the not too distant future , of which will harbor a more prudent outlook. We see the catalyst of this with the new device's launched and for the most part a well received launch.
RIM's PR's are a wasted resource fighting the onslaught of the US media machine while in a negative gear. IMHO they should and will strategically run a full our PR blitz when the tide has shifted in the US media, and piggy back off of a more positive tone. Why paddle upstream when they can drift down the river sharing positive media synergie'sLast edited by missing_K-W; 08-30-11 at 09:14 PM.
