Look, I'm going to be a bit harsh here. I've read your other BB cheerleading submission and the comments.

You can claim BB10 isn't dead, but neither is it alive.

It's vaporware at this point -- and it's logical to look at RIM's current performance to get a clue about how BB10 is going to perform and it just doesn't look good at all.

> Those of us actively developing for it are seeing lots of progress, and feel that RIM is far from dead.

Yeah and you're a small group of people compared to any other mobile platform with a very minority opinion. See also: the Amiga.

This just reeks of the WebOS debacle all over again. You can have the greatest technology ever but it won't matter if the company that owns it mis-markets/mis-manages it into the ground.

I hope they do succeed. I probably won't use one but it will foster more much needed competition.



I do not disagree with anything you've said. There's a lot about BB10 that makes it better than other platforms.

But it will boil down to marketing and execution, lest RIM become another Palm, HP, or Nokia.

I don't exactly have my blinders on, but I am optimistic for the platform. With all of the naysayers, sometimes, someone has to be a bit of a fanboi.
