In November I wrongly stated: my Blackberry Smartphone was Dumb.
WRONG. It was the people who made it.

Palm took the “electronic organizer” from an Atari kids toy, to a must have device of the 90’s. HP tried to connect it to the web, Compaq did it, but less than easy-to-use. It was RIM with it’s Blackberry that took the “pager” and “handheld organizer” scrunched ‘em together and “made email on the go” a real, viable and “can’t live without” product – the “Crackberry”. Attaching a phone came later...way later.

So how is it that this amazing brain-trust that changed how we all communicate through the air, just launched their new – competitive, market leading – world changer – the Playbook, without email?

Yes, yes, ok – if you ‘tether’ the Playbook to an actual Blackberry, like how you did it in the old days -- strap a bigger battery and a modem onto an iPAQ – you had a ‘wireless’ device – kind’a.

RIM says "wait, its coming later" - that's funny... cause they invented "connected" - and that translates to "I want it now!"

Shakespeare would call this “ironic tragedy” a device used by writers. But this wasn’t intentional was it? Maybe it's just “shortwaved”?
