BlackBerry PlayBook sequel unlikely as Heins slams tablets
BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has dismissed the long-term potential for tablets, arguing that time is running out on slates and – perhaps still stinging from the PlayBook failure – suggesting they’re a bad business model.

If you were worried that you'd never get your hands on a BlackBerry 10 smartphone because the first touchscreen device was too expensive - bucker up! Today BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has made an almost offhand comment about the future of the inexpensive BlackBerry 10 handset - a device he'd previously all but dismissed as a possibility.
