Blackberry phones are well known and liked, in large part because they have a very good native email client.
Now RIM, the company behind the blackberry, is launching their PlayBook tablet.  There's only one issue:  It has no email client.
This makes no sense to me whatsoever, surely RIM knows that their success has been based on email, and who would buy a tablet and not want to check their email?  I don't get it.

"But according to an internal Verizon document, the BlackBerry PlayBook could lack a native, core email application at launch, which may well be the final nail in the ever increasingly heavy coffin.

Page 5 has it all, saying:

'In a future software update for the BlackBerry PlayBook, we will also provide native e-mail, calendar, and contact apps for those customers who prefer to have these apps directly on the tablet.'"
