"In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore." Those comments from Thorsten Heins have set the tech press abuzz. Many note Heins' remarks, which follow past comments about BlackBerry (BBRY +4.3%) taking a cautious approach to tablets, seem strange given the market's staggering growth. But an explanation appears to lie in March remarks from Heins about BlackBerry pursuing "a mobile-computing experience" that allows users "to carry one computing device." Instead of competing in a hotly contested tablet market, BlackBerry seems to be pushing a vision of (BB10) smartphones paired with PC/tablet docking peripherals. Time will tell if they'll be more successful here than Motorola. [View news story]

Could have been said about an iPhone 4 yrs ago, and all these situations you have described are already available

It would make a lot more sense to just link up to an in-office projector via bluetooth than for every smartphone to have a built in projector. This way your hands are free to work as the images, etc are projected

I think the comments were made mostly to grab headlines and to increase online searches for Blackberry, etc, thus bringing awareness to the launch of the Q10. Ex. say something outrageous, cause a bit of a stir = gain awareness of Q10 phone launch. The adage 'all press is good press" comes to mind.
And I still don't see how carrying around a "foldable/projectable displays/keyboards, etc..." is handier than carrying a tablet, it actually seems like a terrible idea to be honest.

It doesn't matter if no one is imagining it, it has to make sense first. The iPhone made sense from the start, a small computer in your hand with an integrated phone.
I see more and more businesses adopting tablets all the time, and they're always very happy with the added efficiency and productivity. I do not share Heins view on tablets at all.
Also, in regard to schools going paperless, seems like tablets would make a lot more sense than a laptop. A tabled with a soft keyboard / cover is still a tablet.

Carrying around a tablet seems infinitely more handy than carrying around a small rolled up projection screen.

I would like to point out that I have no position in BBRY long or short, and have absolutely no intention of opening any position in the near future. The reason I am reading and replying to this article is based purely on gaining insight into the psychology of market participants.

All I see is a bunch of people hoping to make some profit selling these Q10's on ebay or whatever to places where it is not yet released. Since the media hyped up how the Z10 was getting way over retail on ebay on it's release, these geniuses are probably hoping to repeat that with the Q10. It probably wont work.
The 12 Biggest Mistakes The Media Make When Covering Gold Markets [View article]
"Gold has regained over half it's drop from earlier, yet not 1 article on it going up. But go down and here are all the geniuses telling us it's about to plummet."
Kinda sounds like the goldbug logic; whenever gold drops it has been 'manipulated' (by GS or whatever), and whenever it rises it is based purely on fundamentals.

well, they told everyone to short gold as well. It's not like they said 'buy gold' while they were shorting it. And now after the big drop they have covered, pretty transparent to me, don't see what the big issue is.
