Why does Robb even bother to still run his RIMarkable site. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a more depressing, so-called Blackberry afficianado. Yes, RIM are going thru some bleak times, but jeez, Robb is pathetic in reporting on anything Blackberry. Just look at how Rod has to prod Robb into saying anything about Blackberry, even given him some hints on Blackberry news. Come on Robb, get on the program. You may have valid points on where RIM is right now, but lets be a little more pro-active in reporting Blackberry related news on these podcast. It’s the whole reason I even listen to you guys.
