Since you're being a whiney biatch about it though how bout this. Your attacking the Playbook because you believe integrated email should be on all RIM devices because it's one of their primary purposes right? What would you say about an iPhone's primary purpose? Making calls right? Now what if they released an unnamed device that happened to drop calls due to faulty antennae design? All devices have shortcomings and issues dude. If the Playbook isn't for you then don't buy one. But stop running around acting like the thing raped your mother or something, it's just a tablet... |
First of all, not once, did I mention anything about Apple, the iPad and how it's high and mighty. So before you start going off and telling me what Apple's faults are, you need to step back, cause i know Apple has faults. That's not the issue here.
The main god damn point I was trying to make, and my opinions are shared with many, is that RIM dropped the ball on the Playbook. It's pretty simple. This is not just about the lack of an email application at launch, this is not about Apple's stupid antenna problem, this is about RIM rushing a product out cause they have been beaten in a race that started over a year ago.
I'm not going to keep going back and forth with you guys about who is better RIM or Apple. All i'm saying is this is not the way RIM intended to release their product, hell no. What bothers me the most is that they haven't learned from their mistakes. Again, look at the Storm series. They saw that the market for touch screen devices was getting red hot, what do they do? Rush out a ridiculously shit-tastic device that people wouldn't use if they got it for free, only to admit later down the road that they too, thought it was a shit phone, so they wanted to release another version to make it right.
Again, stop with the RIM vs Apple bullshit in here, cause that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a company who has not done a great job at releasing what is supposed to be, their cutting edge flagship product.
