Those 4 things are pretty subjective and if any one (the article states RIM is the ONLY) company's done it it'd be hard to argue Apple hasn't.

This is more Blackberry tripe from RIM and its small enclave of loyalists. Just shut up and release already. I don't care how "great" your OS is if I can't buy it and it doesn't have a user base.

Anything can be made to look great on paper. The proof is in the released product.

They haven't released it yet because they want to have a finished OS/product and not a half-baked one like the first versions of iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

No, they haven't released it yet because of a long series of bad decisions, cancelled products, management changes, and missed attempts.

I mean, I wish RIM the best -- more competition is great, but let's not sugarcoat things and let them off easy.

>> not a half-baked one like the first versions of iOS, Android and Windows Phone

Or, closer to home, the first Playbook OS.
