<p>So it's really no secret at this point the Thorsten Heins and Co. have shelved the idea of the BlackBerry PlayBook 2, or any bona-fide BlackBerry 10 tablet for the time-being at least. But while the reemerging Canadian company seems to be doing a pretty good job bringing its name back to glory with BB10, it's hard not to wonder whether or not walking away from the tablet market is actually a good idea.</p><p>Heins' recent comments about the tablet PC market being Apple's near-exclusive stomping ground was anything but misguided developers the world over continue to struggle in the face of the genre-defining iPad. However, Apple still doesn't have the monopoly when it comes to smaller tablet PCs and there remains a glaring gap in the market for a genuinely popular and capable business-centric tablet.</p><p>The problem BlackBerry will inevitably face by sidestepping the tablet PC market is that no matter how many top-end BB10 handsets they release, it will be impossible for millions of corporate users to build and operate a versatile BB10 ecosystem. Instead, it will be a case of adopting BlackBerry 10 Smartphones and looking to either Apple or Android for tablet PC needs the kind of fragmentation that's never been attractive to anyone.</p><p>By contrast, being able to stock up on iPhones, iPads and MacBooks that all link seamlessly with each-other remains a far more appealing choice across consumer and corporate circles alike. The same goes for Android devices and to a lesser extent Windows 8/RT/Windows Phone 8.</p><p><a href="http://www.usdailyvoice.com/opinion-blackberry-needs-a-playbook-2-must-reverse-decision-5795/calvin-winters.html">Keep reading...</a></p>
