BlackBerry CEO: No “reason to have a tablet” in 5 years

It may be safe to say that sanity has left the building up at BlackBerry headquarters. Just read the following quite from its CEO: In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore. Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such.
