The problem is not relying on google 411, the problem is google feeding its customers apps, the pulling them out because they're "beta" or no longer fit their model. Ill remind you again, when google pulls gmail from out beneath your feet.

You must be watching fox again. Bad day for lack of mod points

What I Got Out of it, Is Gottfrid is a drug addict and and a coward that went into hiding leaving his friends to take the fall?

These "Apps" you speak off, were not available during iOS or Android street dates. Legacy Blackberry apps have failed, lack off screen size, resources or just plain developers think they can charge $4.99 for a theme because its an "Enterprise" phone. I think RIM (now Blackberry) needs to start some base quality/standard testing on their market apps.

I have been following twitter feeds during the release... People say... a) Zomg Looks like an iphone b) the apps suck c) the apps suck d) they ripped off apple e) (those under 30 ask "whats a blackberry?") Everyone is stuck in this so called "app world" - BB10 tries to minimize the "clicking around" Your email/social hubs/messages are all deeply intergrated into the os, to me thats a great thing, one less app i have to jump to. Pulling in contacts from all your networks into one screen, one "hub" great. Im not a big game/app player so to me, this seems like a great idea. People are way to hung up with the apps, and the developers are partially to blame for rims failure. Their market was swamped with partially finished/ported garbage and to top it off, they want me to pay $4.99 for a theme? This whole post is a garbled thought, but passing off bb10 as a clone, or that its to late - its just the sheep talking. Putting might mess of thoughts aside, IMHO stick google apps on the damn thing, and that alone will boost their street cred. Just give me my contacts/calendar/email in a presentable way, ill be happy.

IMHO, current laws are not adjusted properly to reflect theft/piracy. I agree, I wasn't going to buy it anyways, but it doesn't entitle someone to "use it" There is no simple solution. Im tired of hearing "Oh its less then a price of a coffee", If the coffee sucks, i can have them remake it (or make my own) With iOS, Those $1's add up quick with shitty apps.

Thats like Demonoid going down, put such a dent on the torrents.. /sarcasm

We're not listening for their voices, we're listening for patterns. Even using digital signals - patters are there

Its a gamble..

Times have changed, between the tv, xbox, massived amounts of bandwidth, and cheap hardware, keeps people indoors. I do get the concept of "people getting together", but everything accomplished at a "cafe" could be done at home. (with out the extra fees)

It all depends on your area, where i live (northern CA) PC ownership is very low. The local library has "Free" 10 free machines just FOR Net browsing. As for larger cities, Ownership is alot higher.
I wish you the best of luck, but if its gaming related, youre gonna need high end machines, ofcourse throw in the switches, cabling etc etc ( commerical pipes, (or tubes what ever) will add up quick.
