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:

Silence from Nick.

Who cares what that author thinks?

This thing rocks and the folks at RIM deserve some kudos for the fantastic work.

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.

More Silence from the Fanboy Nick.

I don't use that one. I do most messaging via email and Facebook. In the corporate world, I can how it would be useful.

Wow, talk about hysterical fanboy!

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, Fla=

and all.

And it failed, which is why ~6 weeks later, you bought your Acer Iconia W500:

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?

No, it has more features than I hoped for. I bought it mainly to use as a web browsing device. Nova HD wasn't a hindrance either.

Of course, an Apple fanguurl would lash out and postulate that I'm having buyers remorse and expect anybody to take him seriously.

And you're still a...windbag.

Which is why you're voluntarily investing your time to defend your prior decision.

To defend my reasons from your lies;) And you being a windbag has nothing to do with whether I respond to you or not, windbag.

So just which of your two tablets is now the one that is unnecessary?

Why should I pursue any discussion with you? So you'll turn around and state that I spend time defending my purchases out of buyers remorse?

AFAIC, it doesn't really matter if you consider the Playbook to be the "winner" and the Iconia W500 to be the "loser", or vice versa: =A0 in fact, I'll even point out that in Acer's defense, they at least shipped a product that had email from its launch, which is what RIM is now only fixing. =A0Even if you say "both", that's still not optimal. Keep on searching...

Since you're asking:

For the price of $750, I acquired 2 devices that do much more than the iPad. I use them for different purposes and they are not mutually exclusi=

I would elaborate further, but that would give you wings to accuse me of God knows what.
