I really don't see as RIM as the innovators. Although I know myself against anything non-apple, I still think RIM has been VERY uncreative in making their BlackBerry line up. The new ones look exactly identical with VERY small cosmetic changes and hardly any breakthrough technology. The so called "innovation" they did last few month is the Pearl Flip. Which is oh so HIGHLY original, considering the flip phones hit the market almost a decade ago. I understand that the design works and every loves it, but people want innovation and wowing features, and lately, RIM had neither. If they are to fight against their losing market share, they have to do something better.
It actually looks VERY similar to the ZEN PMC they had wayyyyy back when. I know cuz I still have one. LOL The buttons and the whole lay out looks eerily same. This might some old prototype, since I believe the PMCs (portable media centers), orginally aimed at the video-less iPod 4G, are now pretty much dead.
"My father-in-law is heading back to school in the spring and wants a laptop for Christmas. The only catch is their budget is around $400 and he does not want a netbook. He's not very "tech savvy" at all and doesn't need a hoss of a machine (not that $400 could get you one). We would like to get it for him as soon as possible and would love some input."
