May 17, 2011 | MacNotables

Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has some strong opinions on the PlayBook, the BlackBerry, and how RIM dropped the ball, and shares them, along with some thoughts on the Nokia-Microsoft partnership. There’s plenty of controversy in the mobile market, and Jim provides some insight on Flash’s place in it and how Android is or isn’t growing. He also questions Microsoft’s purchase of Skype, and discusses the in-app purchases license issue that is dogging some developers.
