Blackberry Playbook

I don't know if this has been posted here before,but anyways.I recently got an app of TIMES OF INDIA on my phone so since then been reading a lot of paper specially the tech section.And every day there is an article on how the Blackberry playbook is half baked and Blackberry rushed its release etc etc.It is pretty funny seeing the Blackberry guys defending themselves,like do not underestimate the playbook etc etc.

It is pretty funny blackberry releasing a device which cannot send mail on its own and needs a crutch to send mails.He defends the Playbook by saying that you can hold it in your hands longer.(than ipad).LOL like that is going to be the USP.Even if you can hold it longer what you gonna do with it?
And they release it with only 27000 apps compared to the ios(350,000 and the android(150,000) that is nothing.

I think Blackberry screwed up big time with this release.On top of that there pricing is also very similar to the ipad 2.


Checkout the links below they are hilarious how the CEO is trying to defend the playbook.

The problem with these latest tablets is that they are very closely priced to the iPad 2 without boasting superior hardware or functionality. Which wouldn't be so bad if everyone weren't playing catch-up to the iPad 2.

I read the interview in which the Blackberry CEO went a bit mental. Apparently everyone is mean about their products. If they were worth buying over the competition then people wouldn't be mean about it!

Yeah The CEO went completely mental.
I still prefer the archos over the iPad.
The archos tablet is amazing.

Playbook was an epic fail.
