a) Everyone thought the BB tablet looked good in preview and there are 800,000 sitting in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust
b) In this case however that looks ****.

Thats crap:
buttons too small for any real use, and no way of direct menu access without having to go back to the touch screen...the whole point of buttons and trackpads is to save faffing around with a touch screen.
Samsung did this on their Tocco Ultra in an attempt to get best of both worlds (keys and touchscreen), where in practice it was worst at both....it was awful, mainly because the only way to navigate on the phone was to use the touch screen, rendering the keypad pointless.

It's one of a few new devices that will be released next year and they will be leaps and bounds better than the current devices. I can't say more than that as I am bound by a confidentiality disclosure agreement......

Oh no! Bet Apple will sue because the screen part can be said to resemble the iPhone (if you look at it in the dark when squinting after 7 pints of Old Speckled Hen ... 
). As for the keyboard, well the 6 letters in the top left are 'Q', 'W', 'E', 'R', 'T' and 'Y', which happen to be the same as on the iPhone touch keyboard so they'll get sued over that as well .....
And the colour. Apple will release an iPhone in that colour in 2018 so RIM will get sued for that as well. They may as well go home as they're obviously no match for Apple ....

Who, me ... 
As for the Crackberry, nowt was said in that piece to make your mind up one way or another. Screen - check. Qwerty keyboard - check. But that was about it. QNX gets good press elsewhere but until you try it you can't tell whether this one will be any good. Is that enough of a review for you ?

The two chief executives said they had reduced the cash element of their pay packages to $1 per year.

And.....
It's Official: First BlackBerry 10 Smartphones Won't Be Available Until Late 2012!
Very disappointing news I have to say, and really does start to make you wonder if RIM can hang on in there or not.
I for one hope they dont go, as much as im loving my Android S2, I would still be lost without my BB
It's Official: First BlackBerry 10 Smartphones Won't Be Available Until Late 2012!
The official word is that RIM wants to put a chipset into the USA-bound LTE BlackBerry 10 phones that will not be available until mid-2012. This pushes the rollout of the first BlackBerry 10 phones into the latter part of 2012. Mike Lazaridis followed up with clarification, adding they need this chipset in order to deliver the efficiency and battery life that customers expect from a BlackBerry.

But I make you right, they are ripe for the picking right now, especially with a 10% dive in share prices.
There was rumour someone wanted them, but I cant remember who.
