100% spot on (from the outside, at least).
I think they were banking on their "huge market share" in mobile phones (that has since began sinking down) to get buy in. "Oh I have a Blackberry I should buy this thing." That's a good market to shoot for if there's a compelling reason for the customer to do that, but I didn't see a single feature that would really push someone to buy a Playbook over an iPad even as an existing RIM customer.

- empire29 15y agoCould this have something to do w RIM management not wanting to canabalize it's already dwindling BB phone market? I've never used one but the ppl I know still clinging their BBs cite it's email capabilities as why they're sticking around. Tablets and phones don't seem to directly compete, but then again they're both mobile devices.
