In Toronto, PlayBook Line Stretches…Wait, Do Two People Count as a Line?

“As a RIM investor, I was sort of hoping there would be more customers than reporters here.”

– Henry Kim, one of two customers who lined up outside Toronto’s Future Shop for a BlackBerry PlayBook this morning

You knew they were in trouble when one of the launch retailers cancelled its planned midnight launch.

Unsure why the media fixation that RIM will somehow outsell Apple in retail? I guess they ignore the corporate sales channel where there is no line.

RIM doesn’t need to ship with little stock to drive up demand or not allow pre-orders. Apple creates hype and you all help push the buzz.

In tablets, there is a line at the corporate sales channel, and it is for iPads. There is a 3-4 week wait.

So how does a “leader in the business space” release a new enterprise product without an EMAIL CLIENT????

Love the playbook. Best tablet on the market for business. Give it time and I think the sales will improve with future software releases.

Ravdog, FYI I sent about 300 emails so far on my playbook without it being tethered to my blackberry bold

By using Gmail from a web page? Doesn’t count. And how is it the best tablet on the market – when it has no apps yet? Seriously, who are you trying to fool?
