Seemingly all talk is moot becausewhat was shown wasn't anything like a tablet device:

This device reminds me of a palm product (before the Pre) that they announced which was designed to be a cheap add on accessory to your existing smartphone and provide superior browsing and document viewing experience to that platform without really having any real stand alone functionality. Palm ultimately abandoned that project but it seem like RIM has taken a leaf from their page.

why have a tablet device for the business market that is so small that it can't display PDFs....doesn't sound too smart to me.

My point was that it was silly to try and slap down a person's reasonable comment by posting a definition that doesn't invalidate the point the person was making about it's usage being north american-centric in nature and as for your latest suggestion of playstation that is a completely different matter entirely as it has had its meaning built up as part of its brand in the same manner as stuff like kindle or ipod.

Also, I think you are showing your ignorance of the development cycle of commercial products if you think that they would not have finalised the hardware by now, at this point in a products life cycle then the actual hardware will have been finalised with possibly only the casing being non-final at this stage. |

Where do you think it starts ? I remember when playstation was first introduced to North America people thought it was a horrible name like something for kids. i.e. 'gameboy' |

I'm suprised that nobody has mentioned that Kobo will be pre-loaded on this device...

After my experience with the Storm I am hesitant towards anything with a touchscreen and the word "BlackBerry" in its name.

On the Torch, RIM has given the touchscreen the same feel as Apple and Android devices. Meaning more inertia for scrolling with bounce at the end. More interaction by swipe and pinch versus mostly by click. And so on. |
