The question is: Who, besides BlackBerry users, is going to want to buy it? The core email and calendar apps are completely tethered to a BlackBerry. Without your BlackBerry, there is no native email or calendar app—just access through the (admittedly good) web browser. But that’s gonna turn off a lot of people. And we didn’t get a chance to see what the new App World looks like, or any of the future apps that could make it a truly killer tablet—or break it.
Wow. How dumb would you have to be to buy this piece of crap?
Imagine if Apple had released the iPad without an e-mail or calendar app and instead tethered it to the iPhone? There’d be cries of anti-competitive behavior and much gnashing of teeth.
RIM is a joke. If this is their best effort, it’s time to throw in the towel.
