      Not only that, they had solid hardware, a good OS, and then for some reason thougt it would be a great idea to charge people for publishing apps. Consequently, there were none. Funnily enough, Nokia did the same and also failed because of it. I think exactly this is also part of the reason why Blackberry failed.
