Sep 18 13:14:31 <fx1> want: http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/18/4742292/blackberry-goes-big-with-the-5-inch-z30-smartphone
Sep 18 13:30:09 <HaDAk|> not sold on blackberry
Sep 18 13:30:31 <HaDAk|> haven't tried it, but i can't see any benefits to running it
Sep 18 13:51:33 <fx1> the carded multitasking is rather nice
Sep 18 13:59:52 <fx1> it has some awesome gestures
Sep 18 14:00:22 <fx1> a ton of the UI elements look gorgeous
Sep 18 14:00:55 <fx1> all it's lacking is kickass apps that take advantage of them
Sep 18 14:02:09 <fx1> and it's got all the allure of a platform with potential, meaning it's a potential gold mine for indy devs
Sep 18 14:02:54 <fx1> with all the caveats of the 2010 webos developer
Sep 18 14:08:57 <HaDAk|> sounds familiar.
Sep 18 14:09:49 <stefan_schmidt_w> Sounds like they are missing the breath to successfully place that at the market
Sep 18 14:38:21 <fx1> yeah, they pretty much don't have enough people to carry out the plan they want.
Sep 18 14:38:40 <fx1> also, they don't get that they're the ones that need to make the apps people want, and not 12 year olds
Sep 18 14:39:03 <fx1> but, their devices still have character and are fun to use
Sep 18 14:40:52 <stefan_schmidt_w> I never even considered a blackberry as are not running on top of linux. Obviously a personal choice though :)
Sep 18 14:41:09 <stefan_schmidt_w> s/as/as they/
Sep 18 14:42:22 <fx1> lol that's so close mindeed
Sep 18 14:42:27 <fx1> =P
Sep 18 14:44:36 <stefan_schmidt_w> better as running after everything new some company throws around :)
Sep 18 14:45:23 <stefan_schmidt_w> If blackberry keeps going like they do right now we can wait a year and buying them out of our own pocket :)
Sep 18 14:49:15 <HaDAk|> wait. what? they're not linux? wtf.
Sep 18 14:54:41 <stefan_schmidt_w> nope, rolling their own rtos
Sep 18 14:55:20 <HaDAk|> eh. no thanks.
Sep 18 14:55:49 <HaDAk|> we moved beyond that, after flip phones went out of fashion
Sep 18 14:55:52 <HaDAk|> and for a damn good reason
