To give BB credit, the playbook was a '1st gen' device for that category, it's really only when compared to Apple, an amazing company with so much to leverage, that the Playbook was bad. If they could have taken more time, it might have been better. But the Playbook product did effectively expose the lack of depth, talent and relevant experience at RIM. I'm ashamed to say.
