'Fantastic' BlackBerry PlayBook sales reported by major Australian retailer

Retail August 22, 2011

While HP continues its TouchPad fire sale as it exits the consumer tablet market, major Australian retail chain Harvey Norman has gone on record in reporting “fantastic” sales of RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Ben McIntosh, head of Harvey Norman’s computer-buying team, told Australian technology news site Current that the retailer’s sales of RIM’s tablet have exceed expectations. “Sales of the PlayBook are very, very good,” McIntosh told the publication. “BlackBerry has probably come from a different direction. The PlayBook was always going to be more of a niche product based on the fact that they’re really targeting the BlackBerry smartphone base that’s in Australia and the world.” RIM revealed in June that first-quarter shipments of the BlackBerry PlayBook totalled 500,000 units, and it appears as though the vendor’s debut tablet is maintaining a solid sell-through rate in Australia. “The sales of the PlayBook have been fantastic, we’ve re-ordered multiple times and it’s exceeded our expectations,” McIntosh added.

    Ok, i will just repeat myself:

    iOS is ugly and i just cannot see the homescreen of an iPad ever again, without vomiting all over the thing. If Apple really wants to merge iOS and MacOs, i know 30 poeple who will never buy an Apple PC (ie. macbook pro or mac pro high end models, for more than 2200$) again, because of the dumbed down experience they have on their iPhone or iPad, which they would never ever accept on a PC  and i am sure, they are not alone (including me). 

    At least Android has a version specific for Tablets right now, maybe ICS will change that, but the iPad shows me the exact same thing an iPhone does, with more space inbetween the icons, with the exact same homescreen i just want to vomit on, because i cannot see it anymore for the 5th(?) year in a row now. iOS is just annoying when it comes to the look of the OS. Even BB OS7 is more appealing to me right now.

    And there comes BlackBerry with QNX which at least isn´t ugly, hasn´t got 5000 fart apps, and i just repeat what i said in another BB thread: “ Please just accept that not everybody needs a Gameboy for adults, and that includes iOS and Android…”. Why is that so hard to understand? 

    You get a boner when Steve Jobs tells you about the next revolution in mobile magic? You love useless apps? You are hipp at Starbucks? You have money to throw out the window? BUY THE iPAD!!!!!!!

    You do not have that much money to throw out the window? You like customization and no walled garden? You love tons of ads in apps? You love flash and sometimes a little lag and you get a boner when you read 50% market share? BUY AN ANDROID!!!!!!!!!

    You want something else, are an early adopter, want another UI,UX and formfactor, you hate it to have a GameBoy for adults with a dumbed down UI AND you get a boner when you read BBM, QNX, security and flash?  BUY THE PLAYBOOK!!!!!!!

    So why is it so hard to understand, that everybody will choose their OS and Tablet accordingly to their needs? 

    Again, i´ll quote myself:
     
    “I sometimes only come to BGR and Engadget to laugh my ass off at the comment section. It´s always the same, someone gets trolled, the other trolls come, fanboys are coming too, normal poeple are also joining the fight, and the discussion about which OS is the best begins. Always the same arguments, never something new, and no end to the discussion. It is hillarious that several thousand poeple are saying the exact same things, over and over again. It is the never ending story of the blog discussion section. And i love it! When i feel depressed, i only need to go to the comments, and i feel relieved that there are so many dumb sheeps whithout an own mind and i can laugh again, and again, and again…. and again and again and again.”

        And so, what do i hate? 
        Except that the iPad is a big iPod Touch with 100000 useless apps, where do you see hate? 
        I was aware that the Apple fanboys will not like it, especially since they like ” the clean and polished” (read as:  ugly and creating the need to puke on the tablet) look of the OS.

        But i wasnt fanboy enough to not make fun of the other plattforms. And the mos funny thing is, that i took the time, to post at least something intelligent. 

        Typical response from an Apple Fanboy, one word, that has no meaning. Maybe at schol they didn´t taught you  that if you want to reply to something well thought out, you should use more than one useless word? But maybe his iOS dictionary just doesn´t know any other words….

        Willy… just wait, I hear the buzz words “preachy”, “whiney”, and “arrogant” coming.  

      • Bringit

        Just because you use many words does not mean you are not full of shit, nor that you are not a hater.  In fact the best writing is able to get their point across in as few words as is necessary.  Perhaps they do not teach that in your remedial writing classes.

        @5902eb03c52f69077706fc9e6b29398f:disqus  – way to hop into something that has nothing to do with you.  It is only you that is the preachy whiny arrogant bitch.  It’s well documented and well known.  @Willy_Joseph:disqus  is just a hater.

      • Applesucksfatties

        “Hopping on something that has nothing to do with you” ….. funny coming from the “non-RIM basher” that decided to put his 200 cents into a post that wasn’t even directed at him.  Now run along little boy…the other 3 year olds are waiting to play.

      • Bringit

        Yes, I am funny – I’ll give you that.  And yes – you hopped into something that had nothing to do with you in an attempt to get some help from @Willy_Joseph:disqus  to back up your weak sauce whiny drivel.  Did not work though – people still see you as the douche you are.

      • Applesucksfatties

        I agree BringIt- AppleFag has a strange obsession with you man. Guess he likes cock?

        Look BringIt, you say that the best way of writing would be to say as little as possible. But in doing that, you can leave some room for interpretation, which is not what i desire. In saying more, i clarify things.

        And what they surely did not teach you, is that the big writers in history always used a lot of words, because without them, there is nothing to say.

        You want to tell me, that Voltaire should have wrote less in “Candide” or “Micromegas”? That J.R.R Tolkiens “Lord of the Rings” is crap because the author used too many words? Same goes for Shakespeare?
        In saying that, you are funny, yes….

        And the best thing is, that i am not a fanboy^^
        I had the 3GS for 8 months, so i know what i am talking about. The original Droid and the Galaxy S2, the iPad for 6 months, a BB bold mark I, and right now a BB Bold 9900 and waiting for the Torch 9810. Heck i even had the Nokia 7610 ages ago. I buy a lot of smartphones, because i like to try the newest tech, I´m a Tech Addict man, and right now, Apple is just boring for me.

        @c009b00976ca25649d53f2a08121b9f1:disqus ..did you enlist help from your butt buddy brigade to “insult” me?  I don’t know who is better at using cut and paste in his comments….you or Scroat.
        @f5fbe3ffda6eedcaaa311a41cfdbe54d:disqus ,@f4d6f66499442bc63c025b481c927b80:disqus ,and @9af20688ead48f4f773dec5ddeff5a8e:disqus  you turds riding on the king turd’s coat tails? Way to attack me with the backwoods Kentucky sexuality comments…it really shows your true ignorance (and the fact that you all probably live in a trailer).  What is funny is that you three dipshits are ripping on me for continuing to post comments….yet you fat virgin losers are out here posting comments just as much as I am.  You douchers better get some sleep though, you have a busy day of asking “Would you like fries with that?” tomorrow…

      • Kickbutt42

        I got news for you AppleDICKFACE..I promise my income is much larger than yours.  Working a hot dog stand would be a step up for yourself.
         
        I hire/fire little scumbags like yourself.  Not my fault you suck at life, can’t get a job, and drive a blue 1982 Chevette.  So go clean the shitters, your crappy kids/wife are making a mess again.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @f5fbe3ffda6eedcaaa311a41cfdbe54d:disqus - sure buddy…everyone on the internet is a tough guy that has millions of dollars, drives fancy sports cars, and has a supermodel wife.  I can promise… a.  you are none of the above and b. while I’m none of the above either…your assessment of me is very much inaccurate.  Since this is a PlayBook related post and you have nothing positive to add to it, my suggestion is to just move on.

    • Bringit

      You dare to compare your verbal diarrhea to Shakespeare, Voltaire and Tolkien?  I thought you actually were smarter than your friend @5902eb03c52f69077706fc9e6b29398f:disqus , clearly not.

      Those authors / books above did say as little words as was necessary – they just happened to be long.  That does not mean long and wordy and drivel and boring is better.  There is a difference.

      • Anonymous

        And you are more intelligent than i thought but less at the same time.
        I am sure you said:
        “In fact the best writing is able to get their point across in as few words as is necessary.”
        And this is speaking too general. Because written like that, it means that everything should be written as short as possible. Absolutely every text, and this is just not true. I knew you would reply in that way to me, so i will enlighten you and tell you your shortcomings in your thoughtprocess:

        First:
         I didn´t compare myself to them. I only talked about these writers because your statement means that Tolkien and Shakespeare are bad writers. I needed to correct you there. And I wrote about these authors the way I did because I knew you would jump at it. Your reading comprehension skills aren´t as good as you thought, aren´t they? 

        Second:
          “Those authors / books above did say as little words as was necessary – they just happened to be long.  That does not mean long and wordy and drivel and boring is better.  There is a difference.”

        Again, not true. Shakespeare wrote in rhymes, and that requires a lot of different words, especially adjectives. Without a lot of words, he would have never been able to write his masterpieces. Take “A Midsummernight´s Dream”. There are so many different pictures, metaphores, hyperboles, all described through adjectives, a lot of them. If you think that Shakespeare wrote a piece, and it just happened to be long, than you are so damn wrong that you really should enhance your knowledge.

        I also take Victor Hugo and the whole Genre of Poetry as an example. This genre lives from ignoring: 
         ”In fact the best writing is able to get their point across in as few words as is necessary”
        Victor Hugo in “Les Chatiments” shows the reader the complexity of the world and things around us. This is clearly not possible if he uses the least amount of words, because there are things impossible to explain, when you use the least amount of words. 
        And again, poetry plays with words, and so has to use a certain amount of it.
        Make a poem with 10 words, nobody will want to read it, or ever think to buy it. Because a poem is a testimony that the author is capable of playing with his own language.

        And I knew again that you would say that, and would so prove to me, and everybody else here that you have absolutely no knowledge at all about literature. You dare to talk about Shakespeare and know nothing about his work? You even lack knowledge in defining the basic elements of a certain genre in literature. Please, never try again to lecture me if you lack knowledge even at the basic level of things.

        AH, and Third:

        Who ever Applesuck…what ever is, i did not know him till now, so calling him my friend proves your lack of reading comprehension again.

        Troll someone else, or at least, troll better….

      • Applesucksfatties

        Don’t bother trying to reason with BringIt.. total waste of time and effort.  Heaven forbid anyone not like Apple …..

      • Bringit

        I will say this slowly and simply for you, because clearly you are one of those people that needs things banged into your head to get a point - 

        I never said writers should not use a lot of words.  I did say “he best writing is able to get their point across in as few words as is necessary.”  I said this in response to you ripping a post because it did not have a lot of words.  If the words written have value (Tolkien, Shakespeare etc) than the number of words is not relevant.

        “Make a poem with 10 words, nobody will want to read it, ” – really?  That is just ignorance of poetry and writing in general.  You are a perfect example of where less would be more because all you do is dig a deeper grave.

        If the words written are repetitive, wordy and go on an on unnecessarily ( @Willy_Joseph:disqus ) then the length is totally not impressive and in fact counter to getting a point across.
        Please let this be the last time I need to explain this to you.  It’s actually not that difficult of a concept.  

  • Billy the killer

    AppleFUCK- I am suprised it took you this long to respond.  Guess your out of work family has nothing better to do.

    Your mad because everyone here KNOWS your full of shit.  Every post is like dog shit coming out of your mouth.

    Do us a favor and FUCK OFF!

    • Applesucksfatties

      Hey, its my buddy Billy the Toothless Hillbilly….back again.   Speaking of taking long to respond…I noticed it took you 3 hours to respond to my last post…did you have wait for your shift at McDonalds to get done?  According to you, “every post is like dog shit coming out of my mouth”…yet what riveting things do you bring to the table…..beside your usual lame ass comments?  If you have nothing positive to add to this PlayBook article….I suggest you just move on.

      • Bringit

        Such a douche you are.

      • Applesucksfatties

        keep commenting on my posts loser…. Are you 7 yrs old and always have to get the last word in?

      • Bringit

        I post the truth @5902eb03c52f69077706fc9e6b29398f:disqus  , even if the truth may hurt your feelings.  Maybe RIM has a tissue App to help you with the pain of being a douche.

      • Applesucksfatties

        The only douche here is the loser named Bringit that keeps cyberstalking me like a loser virgin nerd chasing around the prom queen.   You think you are God’s gift to tech/iBGR.. but really you are just a virgin loser that has nothing better to do but cyberstalk and stir the pot… so get lost.

      • Applesucksfatties

        ps.  In case you can’t read.  That comment was directed at your buddy Billy the Killer… unless Billy is actually you and you were just too stupid to change your screen name to respond.  Either way, buzz off.

      • Bringit

        You talk about my virginity and my cock.  You really are a sick and perverted homo individual.  This is a tech site not a porn site.  Take your sick and weird fantasies elsewhere.

      • Applesucksfatties

        The only fantasy I have is you getting run over by a speeding semi.. now buzz off cyberstalker.

      • Billy the killer

        AppleDickSucker- RIM finally realized no one wanted to build apps for their second rate tablet POS… so they had to bow down to Google to run their Android apps. Wow talk about confidence in their products.

      • Billy the killer

        AppleFag- Why do you keep bringing up McDonalds? Damn dude sounds like you do work there. I bet your on their free WIFI because you cannot afford your shitty ass AT&T BlackBerry phone bill.

        And no I won’t go away. Everyone on here thinks your an asshole. So shove your phone up your wife’s FAT ASS!

      • Applesucksfatties

        I hope you realize that your use of the word “fag” really sums up your intelligence level and why I KNOW you work 2nd shift at McDonalds.   If you dislike me so much, why are you CONSTANTLY out here posting sh*t?  Do you think that you saying my wife has a fat ass and calling me a fag is going to hurt my feelings?  Sorry to disappoint but it isn’t…because at the end of the day, 1. I know that you have no clue of what you are talking about and 2. you’ll still be the same blog trolling doucher that you were when you posted your last comment.

        Since you obviously have the IQ of a tree sloth, I’ll explain it to you in terms you understand.  YOU APPARENTLY DON’T LIKE ME…. SO STOP DIRECTING POSTS AT ME AND GO ON YOUR MERRY WAY..  PROBLEM SOLVED!!  The same goes for your alternate screen name/brother … BringIt.

      • The Thrasher

        I really don’t get Applesucksfatties. You have some strange obsession with the male penis. Were you born without one? You can’t find it?

        Looks like your in love with BringIt too. Thats gross dude.

      • Applesucksfatties

         Just ask your mom

      • Billy the killer

        Here’s what I don’t get about AppleFag boy.

        1) He always talks about McDonalds (he must work there)
        2) He has a homosexual fantasy about cocks and virgin guys
        3) He has an unhealthy obsession with BringIt (maybe open that closet door???)
        4) Even though Apple is kicking the shit out of RIM, he still defends RIM
        5) I have not seem one positive comment from the little fag about anything

        That about sums up the little un-employed BITCH!

      • Applesucksfatties

        @782229497feb0bd3062be9355d50e8b4:disqus The thing I find most ironic..and moronic about your posts is that you are on a RIM/PlayBook article bashing me about liking RIM.   It is about as stupid as being a Steelers fan on a Eagles website bashing someone for liking the Eagles.   YOU ARE F*CKING STOOOOOPID…. NOW GO GET READY FOR YOUR SHIFT.  FAT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE NEED DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS AND FRIES.  

      • Bringit

        You dream about my cock, my virginity and now me with a speeding semi – you should seek out professional help.  It’s probably too late for your type of sick and depraved perversions though.  Keep it to yourself – the more you write, the more you look like a bigger douche.  

      • Applesucksfatties

        The only douche here my cyberstalker Bringit and his 3 alternate screen names..  I’ve seen people get restraining orders for less.. so buzz off.

        I only have one screen name douche.  You can not honestly be surprised that there’s more than one person in here that thinks you are an idiot.

      • Applesucksfatties

        So if I’m such an idiot, why do you keep posting sh*t at me?  STOP TALKING TO ME THEN DICKF*CK.

        I am responding to you calling me out.  Any upstanding citizen would do the same.  If you can not handle the truth and can not handle my responses to your lies and false accusations – and as you requested I will most certainly not show you my cock – then you should find someone else to lie to.

    My friend, i will not bother with you anymore. It is clear to me now, that it makes no sense to say something to someone whose ability to self-deny is as great as yours. My last words to you…. And it will be as long as usual.

    You said it before, and now again: ”the best writing is able to get their point across in as few words as is necessary.” and enhance that with: “If the words written have value (Tolkien, Shakespeare etc) than the number of words is not relevant.” These two sentence contradict each other in such a great way, that it is hillarious how you think that there is logic behind your statements.

    I do not care why you posted your thoughts, but you say that every text should be as short as possible, and than say the complete opposite. In writing this text, you did not prove that you are right, you made the contriary, you prove me right. And you did not even see it? Please Bro, try better. Because like this you should be ashamed of yourself… Everybody here can read what you wrote, and that was neither intelligent, nor does it help your case to prove me wrong.

    But the best part, where i fell from my chair because i laughed so hard, was this one:”  ”Make a poem with 10 words, nobody will want to read it, ”   – really?  That is just ignorance of poetry and writing in general.”
    If you would have just a little bit of knowledge, you could have answered me, that a special form of poetry, the “Haiku” does not need more than a few words. But this is Japenese litterature, that has to keep a certain form, so we can dissmiss that one. But you didn´t even try. That´s sad…

    And i will correct you in another way too. Maybe i´ll write to you again with some quotes of famous authors….
    But for now, i will ask you, why you are so hypocrith to say that Tolkien is great, but literature is ignorant? To be a writer, you need some skills. Skills that you do not have, live with it, but don´t say that writers or literature are ignorant in general. It shows again that you know nothing at all about this topic and should stop to emberrass yourself again and again. A writer must have the ability to play with words, to manipulate his language. And he needs to have a big thesaurus. All this, you lack (And do not tell me that I ever said that I am a big writer. English is not even the language i am best at).

    The way you write, you are either 11 years old, and just cannot know better; if so, you are forgiven. But I rather suspect that you dropped out of school, never again cumulated some knowledge, and now pass down your discontentedness and your bitterness about that fact to your environement.

    May Steve Jobs bless you with some knowledge, ah sorry, i mean MAGIC, I am sure that will make you happy.

    • Bringit

      The fact that you think : ”the best writing is able to get their point across in as few words as is necessary” and  ”If the words written have value (Tolkien, Shakespeare etc) than the number of words is not relevant”  – is contradictory shows what a dumb douche you are.  Shakespeare (for example) did not use too many words.  He  used MANY words, but he used the right amount.  He used as few words as was necessary, even if what was necessary was quite a bit of words.

      You on the other hand accuse people of not making a valid argument UNLESS there are many words.  This is ignorant and shows why you are friends with @5902eb03c52f69077706fc9e6b29398f:disqus  .  You go on an on and on – and say nothing.

      Damn you are a dipshit.

        @23cf5e40507cde92955768aaa12bff0c:disqus -hey dipshit..fry shift get done early last night? Way to rip on me for coming back here.. yet your stupid halfwit hillBILLYass is out here posting comments too.     Are you and BringIt joined at the anus?  I find it odd that you keep referencing him in your posts to me.  Is that because you have some strange man crush on him… or just like rid his coat tails.   Now run along Cletus.. er.  Billy.

        AppleSuxFag- wow it took you this long to respond? Well it is Friday, the day you cash the good old unemployement check.

        You keep referring to the fry station and fat hungry people. Do you have something to hide?? Maybe there’s some insecurity there??

        You have admitted you like the male penis.. Maybe you spend too much time at McDonalds???

        @eaa943db92d9f4e697c719412b91d756:disqus - I can play the “twist what you say” game..  Geez.. Billy… you talk about being unemployed a lot, are you some loser deadbeat that sits around trolling iBGR all day?  Any you say “fag” constantly and talk about me being gay..  Just come out of the closet Billy.  We all know you are a homosexual.  Just admit it..

      • Bringit

        Knew you were a liar as well as a homoerotic pervert.  You said you would not respond to me – yet you did.  Twice since your promise.  Stalker freak.

    @c009b00976ca25649d53f2a08121b9f1:disqus and @23cf5e40507cde92955768aaa12bff0c:disqus – I read the last 3 pages of your comments and my IQ dropped 100 points.  I’m surprised (and mad) that natural selection hasn’t worked yet on you two morons.   This is a tech blog not a verbal bash session so if you don’t have anything to say that is related to the topic, how about you don’t say anything at all?   

    • Billy the killer

      Reggie- let me get this straight, you read three pages of comments, and your IQ dropped 100 points?

      So you went from a regular dude to another ApplesuxFag in other words.

      Thanks for the confession.

        @eaa943db92d9f4e697c719412b91d756:disqus - I’d have to agree with Reggie..you have certainly sapped my IQ with your blabbering bullshit and the “I’m going to twist your words” games.   You seriously need to get a life.  You have confessed that you like Apple.. so you truly have no business posting on a PlayBook article.. and to top it off, you come out here every 5 minutes scouring for comments to twist and add your little “fag” jabs… which I find funny (and indicative of your low intelligence level) because I’ve previously said that I’m married with children.

      • Billy the killer

        Damn dude, bet your wife is all stressed about you finding a job. That unemployment line is pretty tough now-a-days. Maybe your gay lover Reggie the basass can loan you some back to buy diapers for your fucked up ghetto kids.

        Ask yoer wife how my dick tastes while your at it too

        Thx,

        Hey RIM LICKER AppleSucks dude, if Apple sucks so bad then tell me ONE thing that RIM has managed to do better than Apple as of late.

        I guess your going to say their 9800. Nice resolution dude, looks like an Atari 2600 compared to Android and iOS.

        Oh wait, RIM is more profitable than Apple? Ya sure

      • Applesucksfatties

        My wife was pissed that your dick was smaller than your brain….which is tiny.  She told me that your mom had a bigger cock than you do….which explains why you are out here “trying” to rip on me..to feel better about your vastly deficient self.  Sorry to burst your bubble, but no matter what you say about me, at the end of the day, you’ll still be a sad little blog troll.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @8b62269e089841719eb1ff59e7683264:disqus - in response to your question…that would be like me asking you to justify why you like Apple… with their lack of form factor choice and simple OS (so boring that my toddler can operate an iPod Touch)….but frankly, I don’t care why you like Apple because we live in a free country and can like whatever phone, car, restaurant,or sports teams we want to.  

      • Applesucksfatties

        @2431a525d358030ab58b468c3a1556e3:disqus - it takes a special kind of doucher to talk smack about someones kids….but after reading your bullshit posts this past week, I shouldn’t have expected anything less from a classless dickless loser like yourself.

        Billy.. Between you and BringIt, I don’t think there was one sentence in any of your posts that pertained to the topic of the post.   I’d actually like to see you repeat the material you posted to someone in person in Brooklyn or southside Chicago.  You’d go from “Billy the Killer”.. to “Billy got his ass killed”… but hey, I guess the being on the internet in the safety of your own home makes everyone think their tough.

      • Billy the killer

        Great, Reggie is another ‘Internet badass’ from the Bronx. Who cares, you and your ApplesuxGhetto boyfriend finally come together. Go for you two little fudge packers.

      • Reggie Dunlop

        @2431a525d358030ab58b468c3a1556e3:disqus - you need to read my last comment again as it was directed at you and all of your rude comments on this blog.  Again, I’d like to reiterate that being on the internet in the safety of your own home gives everyone a false sense of toughness.  Translation = I highly doubt you’d make 99.9% of your comments to someones face.

      • EXP King Bass

        Applesauce- so your saying Apple has a boring OS and a bad form factor? The size of the iPhone is perfect, any bigger any you can’t get the keys at the top. There’s a reason why the Dell phone failed dipshit.

        The OS is boring? Looks like everyone else has tried to emulate iOS. Hence all the lawsuits.

        So your argument sucks, just like your life.

      • Reggie Dunlop

        @f5fbe3ffda6eedcaaa311a41cfdbe54d:disqus - a.  the form factor is perfect in YOUR OPINION.  b.  RIM hasn’t tried copying iOS.

        I find it funny how Apple fans cant take the fact that some people just don’t like Apple…either 1. because they want more choice in form factor (I love the keyboard on my Bold 9000), 2. the hate iOS….or both. 

        Instead of throwing a tantrum and resorting to bashing me because you can’t convert me to like Apple, just accept it and move on. 

      • The Thrasher

        Reggie- guess you and your AppleSucks lover have not read the news again.

        Android and iOS now make up 70% of smart phones. Your gay ass RIM fag boys were 45% two years ago.. Now your Waterloo Wonders are down to 20%.

        So say Apple blows all you want, but RIM is taking a beating right now. The Waterloo yahoos better pull their heads out of their asses before it’s too late. FOO!
