That sure explains a lot. And it would have been nice if RIM told the truth instead of coming up with a bunch of cockamamie excuses for not having mail. Or better: Waiting until they had the multiple device feature implemented in BES and fixed some other stuff in the process and *then*...
If I was RIM, I'd be writing my last will and testament right now. If the most sclerotic bureaucracy of all -- the Feds are starting to give the BlackBerry the heave-ho RIM is in for a world of pain.

Thanks - I was seeing the pencil as a paper clip and thinking attachments button... Back on topic, yeah, RIM is a badly managed company. To have that crucial tethering feature there rest on nothing more than hope of carrier acceptance is just insane.
ROTFLMAO -- I always suspect the Playbook would be D.O.A., but this level of not being prepared for the obvious I didn't expect even from RIM. Guess I was naive.
Yes, so long as they have unlimited data and fat enough pipe to stream without hiccups. And even then I seriously doubt quality can approach that of locally loaded video files. And too bad if they want to watch something on the subway or airplane. So far as Flash, the iPad plays Flash...
Has RIM demoed the Netflix/Hulu apps -- how do we know when they'll exist? Unless I missed the news (not difficult, I'm not paying attention) even Android doesn't have them. So far as the other formats IIRC VLC* on the iPad plays a bunch of them. Haven't tried myself, life's way too short...
