Players And Their Blackberry Playbook

via Knowlton Thomas of tech vibes,

Waterloo’s Research In Motion has teamed up with the National Hockey League Players’ Association to launch the Player’s PlayBook. It’s a video series that has five NHL players use a BlackBerry PlayBook off the ice and take daily videos of their adventures. Each player will record one 90-second, high-def video per day to the Players’ PlayBook website.

The five players are Martin Biron of the New York Rangers, Scott Hartnell of the Philadelphia Flyers, Bobby Ryan of the Anaheim Ducks, Michael Grabner of the New York Islanders, and Joffrey Lupul of some team I forget. (Oh, right… the Toronto Maple Leafs.) So far, you can see such epic adventures as Bobby snowmobiling with his girlfriend….

Last-ditch effort by RIM.  The Playbook has gotten its aft handed to it (because nobody wants a business tablet).  It was struggling already, and then the Kindle Fire was the final nail in the coffin for it.  At Christmas time stores had the price of the Playbook slashed by 50% or more…. and still couldn’t sell it.  Blackberry no longer is a prestigious name.

I hope Ballsile saved his money away somewhere, because nobody wants RIMs products anymore and I’m preeettttyyy sure his company is now toast.
