Windows Syndrome - releasing a product when it is not complete, thus producing a half-baked product that ultimately fails. However, due to one or two claims to fame, the brand suckers consumers into purchasing for a bloated price and a lifetime of regret.
Well, maybe lifetime of regret is a little strong. But if you ask people who have bought the new Playbook, the reviews are not kind. Without a BlackBerry phone, the pad will not work with email (one of those claims to fame alluded to above). That's unnecessary and I hate the crippleware principle. If they're so damned smart, they can make email work on the device, that's all I'm saying. BlackBerry's reply that there will be significant improvements released after launch makes me wonder why they didn't just leave it in the oven a little longer and do it right.
I've used BB products, and I was never impressed. Much like Windows, I considered them to be a recognized name and nothing more. Their network is a PITA and the phones are buggy and sluggish. If you're used to that then maybe the Playbook won't seem so bad after all.
