From a personal perspective, my life has amazingly changed. Curious? Click here. Best day of my life! Best day ever!
Now y'all know about my love/hate relationship with RIM, the embattled Blackberry maker. I'm happy to announce that I've officially purged my life of all Blackberry products. I've moved all of my day to day tools to Android, Google's mobile and tablet OS. Before I explain how awesome my new toys are, let me tell you why I jumped ship. I've defended BB since my first device, the Storm 9530. I then moved on to the Torch 9800 and scooped up the Blackberry Playbook. One of my biggest complaints for all of these products was the lack of support i.e. OS updates and missed deadlines. That wasn't enough for me to change over. The final nail in the coffin for me was the re-sked of BB10, the latest and greatest OS which is supposed to be the harbinger of a bright future for the Waterloo based company. Initially slated for a 3Q2012 release, it was pushed back to 2013.
I'm a patient guy but enough was enough. I gave away my Torch and Playbook to family members and bought the Samsung Galaxy S III and Google Nexus 7 tablet. I came out of the tech stone age and arrived back to the future. Having these devices is like watching the Dark Knight Rises again for the first time. Like listening to MF DOOM's "Mm...Food" without knowing anything about the supervillain. These devices are so responsive! So smooth! I don't have to reboot them after uninstalling an app! I have Chrome on my smartphone and tablet! Happy days!
Here is my promise to you: I'm done talking about Blackberry until they are taken over. I'm done settling for crappy anythings. We're ready to recommit to you. I'm all about change and change is good.
