BTW, why not have Jim Balsillie there? He's more interesting. Of course, he'd probably show up in a tux and bow tie... yeah, OK, Lazaridis is probably the right guy.]]>May 27th 2009 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/research-in-motion-ceo-mike-lazaridis-live-from-d7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/research-in-motion-ceo-mike-lazaridis-live-from-d7/May 27th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/research-in-motion-ceo-mike-lazaridis-live-from-d7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/research-in-motion-ceo-mike-lazaridis-live-from-d7/
"Walt asked about tablets. Mike wants to know what the benefit would be over a laptop. Walt's running down the possibilities. This is kind of weird -- who wants a BlackBerry tablet?"

The answer: no one! Walt is trying to bait him into saying something positive about the generic idea of a tablet so Apple can use it later in a quote when they invent it. Why else would he be asking about that?

"Walt: What happened with the Storm?
Mike: It's the number 3 best selling smartphone in America.
Walt: I didn't ask you about sales. I asked what happened."

I don't remember Walt needling Jobs like this when no one in San Francisco or New York could make a freakin phone call last more than a minute before it dropped, or any of the other numerous growing pains the iPhone had when it was released.

Mossberg and his outdated KFC goatee can suckit.

-what happened with the storm ?
-It's the number 3 best selling smartphone in America.

This seems like a fair response to me...
I mean the only argument in favor of the app store is 1 billion apps downloaded, and that's apparently enough to convinced most people, but when some canadian folks take num 1 and 3 of the top 5 selling smartphone charts it means nothing ?

The storm was (no sorry IS) a commercial success and it's a very good device.
It's exellent manufacturing, up-to-date technology, innovative, and apparently very well marketed since so many people buy it.

So what does this question means ?

The correct answer would've been :
-well you know, we came up with a great device and we're making piles of money on it. suck on that.]]>May 27th 2009 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/research-in-motion-ceo-mike-lazaridis-live-from-d7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/research-in-motion-ceo-mike-lazaridis-live-from-d7/

1. Blackberry is not a computer company. They are a handheld company. Why the H-E-double-hockeysticks do they need to be thinking about tablets? After attempting to use a tablet PC... the only thing they're good for is college / university student note taking and very little else. They're not excellent communications devices by any means, and communication is all that RIM is about.

2. If a device is the #3 selling handheld device in America... either something was done right, or... well I can't really state the other thing, that wouldn't be nice and I know Americans aren't stupid anyways. Heck, even if they are making a 2nd version this quickly... they're making a second version period and building off the minor faults of the starting unit (I know Verizon Storm owners want to scream at me over the words "minor faults"... but let's face it, it's just Verizon's pickiness that kept 'em from nabbing an update at some point, I've tried countless Storm units with no complaint).

3. If a company has already addressed another company's success with apps... why on earth does it need to be brought up as if they ignored it? In fact, RIM and WinMo both technically have app stores. They just aren't managed by RIM or Microsoft directly. Apple is the only one that decided to say "you come through us and only us to get your applications".]]>May 28th 2009 2:01AM
