A report has posted an interview with Wedge Partners firm principal Brian Blair in which he had some very harsh words to say about BlackBerry’s Playbook tablet. He has been able to review the Playbook and said that it will not help Blackberry. Here’s a few of the statements that stood out:
LL: You say in your report this am it is Dead on Arrival, why?
BB: Because it will be sharply inferior to other tablets on the market and consumers won’t buy it.
LL: What was the biggest disappointment?
BB: Needing to tether it a blackberry for email, calendar and address book.
LL: Are unrealistic expectations of the PlayBook baked into the stock?
BB: Definitely. I think the 6 million units is unrealistic and that kind of optimism has helped drive up the price in recent months.
LL: If you could use one word to describe this product, what would it be?
BB: Misguided.
They mention at the end that BlackBerry’s lack of apps and support also greatly hurts it. Read it all here.
Despite the Black Eyed Peas, whose gonna get one of these now?
