I think he purposely didn't bring any new devices with him, he knew this Walt guy wasn't really going to care much at all about that.
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".
