The phrase "better late than never" comes to mind, although given that the iPad shipped two years ago with email ... and that RIM's core business has been email for businesses through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (which the Playbook **still** doesn't support) ... the phrase "exercise in futility" may be a far better description, at least by some analysts:http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/BlackBerry-PlayBook-2-10... http://www.readwriteweb.com/mobile/2012/02/sorry-rim-the-playbook-sti......although others have tried to be enthusiastic, although still also apologetic:http://goodereader.com/blog/tablet-slates/blackberry-playbook-os2-upd...
More Silence from the Fanboy Nick.Nashton
This thing rocks and the folks at RIM deserve some kudos for the fantastic work.-hh
So then why doesn't Nick send them an IM thank-you via a Blackberry Messenger?Oh...right: =A0that RIM feature is still absent too.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/22/technology/an-e-mail-app-arrives-fo...
it,Maybe Playbook 3.0 will have it, if RIM's current business plan of losing money on every sale (as per Abramsky, quoted by NYTimes) doesn't sink them by then.Nashton
This thing just rocks. Android apps work as if they were written for =

And it failed, which is why ~6 weeks later, you bought your Acer Iconia W500:single website.Well done.My next phone: A BlackBerry.Wow, talk about hysterical fanboy!-hhNashton
Indeed. =A0 Stikes one as a classical case of being in denial for buyer's remorse.
Really? The main reason I bought this thing was the form factor and to browse the web and experience it as it is meant to be experienced, Flash and all.
My real tablet, which happens to be a real computer (in the sense that it runs desktop computer apps that I use) is my Iconia.So now that the Playbook *finally* has some of the features that it really should have shipped with, does that now mean that you have bought two devices to accomplish the same thing?
Of course, an Apple fanguurl would lash out and postulate that I'm having buyers remorse and expect anybody to take him seriously.Which is why you're voluntarily investing your time to defend your prior decision.
And you're still a...windbag.
