No more tablets in 5 years?

The Blackberry chief predicts, No More Tablets in 5 years. Ok, let's see how well this prediction holds. But I predict there will be no more Blackberries in 5 years and no more job for this gentleman in 5 years.

If the gentleman do not believe in tablets, why does Blackberry bother to make one (the Playbook) and it failed miserably while iPad's sales soar? Now, everybody likes to make predictions such as the death of the PC... and Windows 8 certainly makes it die faster. (Well it may not, if the Windows 7 interface comes back with some real improvements)

The tablet is great for couch browsing, casual reading, and casual gaming...and is here to stay, more than 5 years. An attachable keyboard turning it to laptop is great idea... unfortunately Windows 8 just didn't do this right.

Android is natively in java, Windows native is in its wacky every changing .NET things, Apple in wacky Objective C. Blackberry is in C++. This is nice foundation.. but what's up with months and months of delay with that new Blackberry phone? I hope you meet Microsoft in getting 3rd place in the phone world.

I promise to buy a Blackberry if Heins's prediction is right. I hope I can find one by then, not in junkyards.
