Those companies released tablets AFTER the iPad was released; big difference. Apple had the advantage with marketing and a huge head start.

The development community for the PlayBook isn't rabid yet primarily because the NDK hasn't been released yet. I imagine that a C/C++ development environment would be capable of doing much more than just Adobe AIR, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS.

Jesus models his enthusiasm after his hero, Steve Jobs. Interesting and entertaining video, nonetheless.

It's not that BlackBerries aren't being used because people (in the general sense of the word that you used) know what it's like to use one; they'd just rather have something that can play their games and dick around on.

QNX is very stable, optimized for multi-core processors, and any GUI can be written on top of it, so I'm not sure why you are worrying. Also, the Android App Player will be released soon, which will be kind of like Apple's Boot Camp. It runs via a virtual machine.

Hearted for truth. I love my BlackBerry. BBM also kicks @$$ and has done so ever since I've been using it. I agree with everything you said except for the tablet. Right now, the PlayBook is overpriced because OS v2 hasn't been released yet, which is the release that will bring many more new features to the tablet.…

Be a cynic all you want, but it will get you nowhere. There's virtually nothing negative you could argue about the OS that would be valid. It's old? So what? It's constantly being updated. GUI sucks? QNX is an embedded OS, which means it lacks a GUI of its own. Any GUI can be built on top of it, which is what…

I know, no shit. *sarcasm*

I saw this on Google News and thought, "I'm going to see this on the front page of Gizmodo." I love it when I'm right.

I was pretty much going to say the same thing. Thank God he's pulling a Gates. He's already lead the company wear it needs to go.

While this is exciting news for Google and the hardware they use, I'm obligated to make a correction to the article title: Google Is Buying Motorola Mobility. Motorola Solutions is not part of the acquisition. I think you just wanted more page views. While this is a well-meaning endeavor, a lot of people will be…

How do they know you haven't been impersonating someone else with your Google account from the get go? That would be a bit tough to prove.

Android is a great platform. Yes, it is lacking in many areas, but in my opinion, it more than makes it for it with its customization options. So what if a feature isn't on the phone by default? Download an app for it. That's why the Android Market is there, to offer more options. It's only an inconvenience to…

Just grabbed the second one. Thanks!

Why wasn't the PlayBook and the Samsung Galaxy Tab included in the comparison?

I agree, that's the truth. All I was trying to do was point out the problem that many users on this site are biased, anyway, so news that RIM is going under is like "good riddance", blah blah blah. The main problem facing RIM is the number of apps available. If more developers would get on board to write apps…

You'd like to see that, wouldn't you? I like iOS and Android, but RIM has too many good things going for it to simply just be bought out.

I'm loving the negativity on this site. Hardly anyone is saying, "Well, maybe they're restructuring because they're LOSING. If they are determined, they could be serious competitors to iOS and Android." Restructuring, aka layoffs, aren't always bad. They can drastically improve the inner workings of a company that…

At least I can browse the Internet with my phone connection without having a tethering plan. Admittedly, Internet-enabled apps can't use the Bridge connection, but that functionality will come in time. I love this negativity; it makes me love RIM even more.

Truer words have not been said. I love my BlackBerry (especially since OS 6 has been released), but they need to get their heads out of the sand if they want to compete with iOS and Android. There are many brilliant people working there, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see something amazing come out soon.
