BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 screenshots leak, reaffirm BES revamp

I agree with you. I love my PB but I also have a BB phone. Without the phone I would have a lot less use for a PB. One good thing RIM has done is made Bridge a feature people will still want even after the native apps come. Like I use Bridge for data as much as I do anything else. Even after the native stuff comes you will still gain a lot from owning a BB phone. Free tethering is pretty niffty 

So, was this meant to Dglenn5625 or Max?

Max, Scroat, and all other iBGR trolls that come out to RIM/BlackBerry/PlayBook articles to post smack.

You can’t even read.  You are posting two different stats.

RIM currently has 68 million subscribers — 45 million of the 68 million subscribers also subscribe to Blackberry Messengers.

Lol! Does that mean it’s a good stat? That makes it worse! Apple has 220 million registered users of iOS in less than 6 years. BB’s been in the mobile business for a lot longer & it just occurred them that they could make money off of music? Once again, RIM is late to the party, it’s too late.  I read a lot of articles & comments where people love to brag about how RIM started the smartphone business. Well, they’re doing a great job!

The third idiotic comment from SBMobile I found just on this page.

Apple shipped 220 million ios devices — that’s very different from having 220 ios users.  

You bought the original iphone, upgraded to an iphone 3g a year later, then upgraded to an iphone 3gs a year later, then upgraded to an iphone 4 last year — guess what?

Apple shipped 4 ios devices to you — but there is only 1 ios subscriber.

Keep Dreaming? Are you sure about that? Perhaps you’ve been drinking the Apple Koolaid for too long. Still feeling superior? Perhaps you should go to youtube and type in this,   
BlackBerry PlayBook and iPad Comparison: Web Fidelity.

Also, try dragging and dropping HD and Regular movie files. Unfortunately…iPad is married to nothing else but iTunes with all their restrictions left and right. BB Playbook does it with no questions asked exactly like an external hard drive. Can’t do that with iPad

I live in the real world! I just have to get up, go to Best Buy, or Staples or Sears & just ask them straight up how the PlayBook’s are doing at ALL the stores. They all say the same thing: ehhh! lol! They haven’t even sold a million, worldwide (in 4 months?). RIM is supposed to a world-class company that has a loyal base of users, but they can’t even sell a million?! This is sad. But like I’ve said before, the loyal-kool-aid drinkers will be the one’s RIM blames in the end for their downfall. Believe that!

Did they say that they didn’t sell a million?  No.

They haven’t released their quarterly earnings.

Hey SB…  you may want to take Steve Jobs’s ….er Tim Cook’s d*ck out of your mouth.   

ps.  Apple will be dead in 2 years.  Factual Statement!!

I guess everyone that loves McDonald’s is in love with Ronald, right?! I don’t understand your logic! I hope you don’t harm yourself when the company goes under in the next 18-20 months. HP went down, admitting they couldn’t hang. RIM is WAY too stupid to do the same. They’re going down with the ship & dragging all of their kool-aid drinking customers & investors with them. Oh well!

RIM’s largest shareholders is the co-ceo’s.  That means they are willing to stay for a long war of attrition.  They will lobby the Canadian government to prevent any foreign takeover since they are the only big tech company after Nortel is gone.  Maybe bad news for RIMM shareholders, but you can be sure that they won’t go away any time soon.

But for a company that is growing subscribers, making massive profits (second behind Apple in the whole mobile industry), no company debt, positive cash flow (no cash burn), and a Canadian government willing to prevent any foreign takeover — RIM isn’t going anywhere.

SBMobile another dumb ass troll

Pal, look at the responses below. You literally have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Read janet9413′s posts…those make sense…your’s do not.

Well, in the end, RIM will fail mostly because of mindless “kook-aid” drinkers like these responders! All of you are clearly on the same page as the losers who build all of RIM’s crappy products. Wake up! Its 2011, NOT 2001! I lay out facts, available to anyone. The way you guys freakout out over realistic commentary makes me think their will be a lot of suicides when this company goes under! While you’re satisfied with RIM’s weak attempts at “modern” devices, everyone on the outside is laughing at you! Stay loyal! I can’t wait to hear all of the crying when your dreams are crushed! It’ll be HP/WebOS all over again. Believe it! 6 flops in a ROW: 1) Storm; 2) Tour; 3) Storm 2; 4) Torch; 5) Style; 6) PlayBook & I bey you commenters are using all of these devices with a big “Kool-aid” smile on your faces! Lol! The only thing RIM is good at is mixing the cherry flavour!

The only mindless person is you.

You laid out a bunch of numbers — which you don’t even understand yourself.

We all know that you are a tool.  But the more you speak on this thread, the more I will show the world how much of a tool you are.  It’s really not that difficult.

I laugh at the fact that you say us BlackBerry/PlayBook users are drinking the “kool-aid”…   Please.. you Apple sheep are notorious for drinking the apple flavored kool aid whipped up by Steve Jobs.    If Steve Jobs told you that you wanted a toilet paper dispenser attached to your phone, you lemmings would be waiting in line at the Apple store the next day to pick one up.  BAAAAAA BAAAAAA. 

ps.  BTW.. do you have cut and paste functionality or native messaging on your iPhone yet?  Weren’t those basic functions that have been on BlackBerrys since the iPhone was invented?  Gulp, gulp.. I bet that Apple kool-aid tastes goooood.

Good luck reading a schematic on your smartphone.. Have you ever even used a PlayBook ? I have used an iPad and sure the apps are nice, but the functionality of the PlayBook is so much more. My 4 year old is the primary user of my iPad. My PlayBook is with me at work. Sure my BlackBerry can do many of these things, but can you see the map while driving on a small screen, or read the Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PDFdocuments on a small screen ? They all work beautifully on the PlayBook.

I was hoping someone would say that. See a PB plus a BB actually gets you something. A PB does a lot more than a BB phone will. What exactly does the ipad do that the iphone don’t? Except for make you look like a bigger douhe if you carry it around in public. 

Exactly! 

With a BB and a PB you get two completely different devices that you can use in different ways. With a ipod touch or an ipad you get the same device with different screen size. What’s the point? If the ipad is what a tablet should be I don’t want a tablet. I will just stick with my ipod touch. The tablet that fits comfortably in my pocket lol

The honest ifans out there admit that the ipod touch is a tablet if the ipad is. After all if you put a 15″ monitor on your desktop does it make your desktop a laptop? Nope so why should we believe that only screen size makes a ipad a tablet while the ipod isn’t one? 

The PB + BB combo is truly the best thing going right now. People try to make Bridge sound like a bad thing, but its actually a huge feature. With bridge your tablet and phone become one. Instead of Android and iOS were you have two seperate devices that both do the same things you get a BB phone for the hands down best communications of any phone and you get a PB for the best browsing on any moble device ever as well as the best multi tasking and with the Android app player you even get more craps than you would ever need. It’s honestly the best of both worlds. So good that I hope they keep BB Os 7 alive after QNX phones come out. Because I would rather have my phone be a communications workhorse and leave all my entertainment needs to the PB. 

People will wake up one of these days. 

See another hater that is missing out. What does smartphones have to do with this? See we are talking about Tablets and what my tablet can do with no carrier, no monthly fee and no hacking, Can your tablet do that all of what my PB can do while driving down the road with no carrier, no monthly fee or no hacking? You would have to be a retard to honestly not think that is pretty cool. You get a huge bonus if you buy a BB phone and a BB tablet. If you buy android or ios phone and tablet you don’t get crap. 

My BB phone can do everything I mentioned. But the ability to do it on my PB for no additional money is awesome.  Why not do all of that stuff on your PB if its not gonna cost you anything and it functions so well. People need to try a PB. I’ve owned the ipad. and a Galaxy tab. The ipad is just way to restrictive. (seriously I can’t just drag a drop media files?)  and the Galaxy was a laggy mess whenever I tried to make it do something. 

I honestly think most people bitching about the PB has never touched one. If they had they would probably find a lot of things they like. PB has areas that need improvement without a doubt. But of course it would, you are talking about an OS that is still on version 1. Can anyone name a OS that was perfect with the first version? Didn’t think so.

you’re wasting your breath I’m afraid.  these idiots will never understand the benefits of a PB + BB combo.  they are scared to death that RIM is truly doing some amazing things right now.
and the game is still in the early innings.

Another idiotic comment — with Bridge, there is no need for rooting your phone, no need for jailbreaking your phone, no need to set up a wifi hotspot on your phone and no need to pay extra money for monthly tethering charge.

That is something all the other platforms can’t do.

Ok 1st of all you scum bag, the Blackberry smartphones were doing that for years also, what Lala was talking about was the Playbooks abilities. Can your Ipad do all that?

I would like to finally close this whole line of thought that you have (SBMOBILE) started, on this subject>
Item one – RIM invented the whole smart phone concept,from “NOTHING”…
Item two – BlackBerry phones are still the most solid and bullet proof on the planet…fact basedon repairs, and issues regarding hacking etc…
Item three – Apple has indeed raised the bar, on the “possiblities” for smart phones, but they are acknowledged to be the “Kings”of hype….and there is little doubt that when the QNX phones come out next year it will be Apple playing catch up trying to flog iOS,  to be something it can never be…a true multitasking system.
Item four – RIM is  not going anywhere for a long time, they still made a net profit of over 600 million$ their last quarter, have over 2 billion  in the bank, and no debt, probably 10-20 billion $ in patents behind them
Item Five, there are in excess of 45 million users of BBM “DAILY”, transmitting over a billion messages a week….over a system that is hack proof, the only cellphones Government Approved for “MOST” and “TOP SECRET” Data (Playbook was out only three months and was granted by both the US and OZZIE governments as the only tablet to meet TOP SECURITY CLEARANCE – two years out anf niether Ipad 1 or 2 is to be seen)-and as seen when the earthquake hit The East coast of the USA on Tuesday…cellphone calls couldn’t get through because of call volumes…BBM never missed a beat.  And while it is true that BlackBerry’s  percentage of the world market is shrinking the market is doubling every two years so there reduced market share still translates into millions of new users every month.  The simple fact is that outside of north america BlackBerry’s share of the market is actually the same.

Item Six, – you obviously don’t own a Playbook,and cannot see that with the jump in the next few weeks to OS 2.0+, the Playbook will move to a level way beyond any other Tablet….no other tablet can even think to run as many different formats..ie; OS for Playbook, and Android at the same time, not to mention being fully flash capable.

Lastly, it is clear to everyone on this forum that you are a mindless hack, with a childish attitude and a complete lack of any on line manners….your pointless and crude observations and uniformed opinions do nothing but act as an annoyance to intelligent people who try to get something in some way useful from the forum.
My suggestion is get a real job suited to your skills, perhaps cleaning toilets in your nearest bus station, would be a job that you could cope with.
