Wow, the level of delusion is just amazing:

In a conference call with analysts, Heins said getting the new system right was more important than doing it quickly. “I will not deliver a product to the market that is not ready to meet the needs of our customers,” said Heins.

These guys are sitting in the armory of their castle, polishing their weapons, and the barbarians have already stormed over the ramparts, smashed through the walls and set fire to most of the village. But no, it's more important to get those weapons "just right".

Or to look at it another way, if BB10 is in such a parlous state that after all these delays it still cannot be shipped then there are huge, enormous problems with the technical competency inside RIM. And if that is true then we can assume that it will never ship in good shape because time is not actually a solution to such problems.



..and yet if they release too early when it's not ready they have to hear "it just seems like beta software" "it's too unpolished"
