Me thinks you may be the one blindfolded. Since your rant on the PB is so out of character from most PB owners I am going to bet that you do not even own a Playbook. Now we all know what that makes you.

Hold on, Jan 30th will be here soon enough.

It was such a nice peaceful time without having to her that whinny POS Mansbridge babling about how Alberta is bad and how Quebec is good in between periods.

In comparison to yours his are almost intelligent.

Or that the “stature” of RIM, or any other player at, or not at, CES is based on “innovation”. I would suggest that marketing, hard work, and luck all combine to have more to do with “stature” than innovation does.

RIM has been showing off BB10 to carriers, developers, and even enterprise partners. The consumers have been getting regular glimpses of the OS, UI and apps being available. CES is good for home appliances and accessory manufactures. all major Mobile companies are doing their own launchs in seperate events (including Apple, Google, Samsung, Nokia, MSFT)
i respect your opinion and if u think playbook sucks good for you. but dont jump to say no one but managers actually care about BlackBerry. there are tons of people like me who love the brand and its products.

Anyone want a free iphone, It’s cracked of course with a bit of water damage.

So RIM is definitely there. Scoble writes: “Just had my hands on RIM’s new Blackberry [sic] 10. Will talk about that and other consumer electronics stuff shortly.”

Just today I was watching an HD video hooked to the HDMI port on the TV, answering email and surfing the web…all from my PlayBook. I have an iPad for work and it sucks.

It’s not the show “the world is looking at right now”. Just look at the keynote speakers. It’s a pretty boring show. Here’s who is keynoting:

Qualcomm
Consumer Electronics Association
Panasonic
Verizon
Samsung

Would you really fly all the way to Vegas to hear these guys talk?

Rim at one point the tecc
h leader of innovation with no government hand outs or subsidies. CBC hates that. They believe government should have central command over everything. That is why they love Canada’s largest welfare recipients, Quebec and Bombardiare. So the fact that CBC speaks ill will of Blackberry is really no surprise or really not news.
Especially with their ultra left wing pinko commie shoddy journalism.

Man please

RIM has held Jams in dozens of cities and parts of the world and devs have agreed BB10 is the easiest platform to develop for. Devs are porting Android & iOs apps within a single day. There will be major apps coming to BB10 when launched this month. The January 30th events held in major US and world cities is what everyone is waiting for…have you been living under a rock?

So, basically the situation is like this: I (and the rest of the world) am extremly surprised that RIM is still alive. No apps right now, the whole ecosystem they designed is wrong, from the scratch. What they should do? redesign it, and bring all the developers. How they should do that? Show the new bb10 off at every single occasion there is, to bring in customers, to bring in developers, to make ppl believe that they are not dead, they are even worth looking at. And what are they doing? They are skipping the show which the world is looking at right now? nobody besides the 50 years old low lvl managers actually cares about the blackberry, nobody watches their stupid keynotes (even I didnt watch it before I got a playbook). Skipping the CES was the worst thing they could do, and they are practically hitting the nails in their own coffin.

Well played RIM, well played.
