Um, how many years did it take Apple to come out with their phone long after the Blackberry was on the market?
BB is in the mobile communications market. Apple was not. When they decided to get into the market the got in huge and are still beating BB at the mobile communications game. BB still doesn't have a quality touch screen phone. I was using the torch over the weekend and it is generations behind current android phones and iphone4.
Since when was BB in the computer/tablet market???
Check out Consumer Reports latest issue. They rate the Androids, BB OS6, and Torch as equal and in "some ways better" than the iPhone.
.
When Tablets use mobile OS and have 3G antenae they have more in common with mobile communications than computers.
Got a link for the consummer reports article?
consumerreports.org is a pay-to-play site.

hahaha BBOS is a joke... I wonder how much RIM had to pay consumer reports to say that its in some ways better than iOS or Android..... its about 3 years behind, if not more. Clunky piece of garbage OS with hardly any developer support? No thanks. Try again, Waterloo.
The janitors at apple and google can probably build a better OS in their spare time...

Comments like this contribute nothing to the discussion. You've given no information, have no sources to back it up, and instead just throw around uninformed opinions while sounding like a cocky, arrogant dick.

My source is having used the OS extensively (unlike motostark). Its years behind Android and iOS, fact!
No kidding. I always assumed BBOS was close to the other three until I borrowed a friends Torch to play with. Yikes! its not even close. Not to mention the camera on the torch sucks. Maybe the one he had was broken but it couldn't take an infocus picture. The guy actually asked me to use my phone to take their picture (it was at a party) and email it to him after several failed attempts. Never has such a bad experience with an android device or iphone.
The BB OS is horrid. Anyone with an impartial eye can see that. iOS, any of Android variations even WebOs is far superior to BBOS. Just use the damn thing and you'll know how far they are lagging behind. Even they know this...thats why they bought out a company that specializes in OSs.

a) your opinion, as much as you might wish or think it to be, is not fact.
b) saying fact! also does not make it fact.
c) You could easily have said that you've used it extensively, and think it is years behind the competing systems without coming off as a dick. The implication of bribery and the statement that "the janitors...could build a better OS in their spare time" make you sound arrogant. And childish, I might add.
Its pretty clear though that even BB thinks their OS needs some help. As I posted a few pages ago they acquired a UI design firm to try and rectify their lagging OS. Its a step in the right direction for them indeed. I'm a firm believer that competition makes better products from everyone but its clear BB hasn't been competitive in the non business sector of the smartphone market. Now that business users are realizing that they can do the same things plus more on Android or iphones, RIM is in trouble if they don't catchup.
I'm excited to see the playbook and what it can offer but other than tech specs and short controlled demos they haven't reelased anything yet which I don't see why not as the product they are making isn't revolutionary and the longer they take the further they risk releasing a product that is behind the curve of new devices coming out. They have already lost a lot of possible customers to the ipad or Tab.

By the time their playbook comes out, iPad 2 is around the corner and a slew of Android tabs will already be on the market.
Developers make the platform.... and RIM has no developers. Nobody wants to make apps for blackberry and they sure as hell won't wanna make apps for the playbook... it's not profitable. How many iPads out there? 6+ million. Even the Samsung Galaxy tablet sold almost 1 million (even though it sucks balls) so once again, RIM is late to the game. Is a developer gonna code apps for 6+ million strong iPad market, or are they gonna code for some new unproven junk from RIM?
Blackberries suck for two reasons: their OS is garbage for anything but strict enterprise use (aka email), and they have no support from devs.

Ipad launch - April 3, 2010
Only 7 or 8 months, hasn't even reached it's first birthday and ALREADY, actually, at launch, was hopelessly OUTDATED. AKA, "Dead on Arrival"
Now the world must "wait" and all the Apple iGoofs can go line up and buy a iPad2. Boy, no wonder Steve-o has built up such an empire. LOL.

So Gingerbread was released. Some new phones/tabs will launch with it. Some won't. Some phones will be able to update to it. Some won't.
The word CLUSTER comes to mind.

Here is something for you guys to chew on in the meantime from today's Toronto Star :
Why BlackBerry's PlayBook looks like a hit
http://www.moneyville.ca/blog/post/902123--why-blackberry-s-playbook-looks-like-a-hit?bn=1
quote : "To demonstrate the power of the processor – which is only running on one "core" instead of two, at this point in time – a 1080p high-definition video was launched (BBC's "Life in the Blue"); Neale then swiped upwards to minimize the window, before selecting a website on the browser (which supports Flash), followed by opening a photo after that. All three windows were running simultaneously, which you can see side by side.
Clearly, Neale was showing off the processing (and multitasking) power of the tablet – and even though it wasn't yet optimized for peak performance, it was mighty impressive."

Anyways, this is all besides the point, going back the first post, its "Why Android is better than iPhone"
Keep posting guys, I couldn't pay for better entertainment.

I go to the Toronto Star for all my tech news!
poor little iPhone is dying off....
c'mon, really?
i can't stand apple, and even i can see the flaw in that graph.
gee, you mean people stopped buying the iphone3 in q1 and q2 of this year, when they knew that the iphone4 was coming in q3???
what a surprise. . .
you know that the graph for the second half of 2010 will show iphone os clobbering most other competitors
