Actually RIM has said that from the very beginning. Every press release on the Playbook they've talked about how integrated the playbook would be with enterprise systems and how it would act as an extension of a BB device. I actually lost interest in the Playbook because I knew you really needed a BB to use it.

But the media doesn't listen. They are going to compare it with whom they want and slam it for not carrying features it was not intended to have.

Does the iPad vs Kindle come to mind. How many times did Besos say they are not in the same space, and how well did the media listen?
