CE manufacturers are scared. They're scared of competition, they're scared of unique designs, and they're scared, most of all, to ship. Take the RIM
Playbook, for example. As
Jim Dalrymple points out, RIM first announced the Playbook in September 2010. Then it announced a 4G version in January and then 4G LTE, HSPA+ and Mobile WiMAX models this month. RIM, in short, released three products that don't exist. Jim calls the Playbook vaporware but, given what we've seen, it's a real product that just hasn't rolled through RIMs front doors yet. So it's been six months since RIM announced their device and two months since Motorola announced the
Xoom. HP still hasn't shipped the
TouchPad, either. Every tablet you saw at MWC this year is shipping "later this year." The only thing that you can be sure will ship on time is the iPad 2 and that doesn't even exist yet.
