RIM Can't Buy a Break

As if RIM needed another kick in the teeth, I keep seeing stories about how NFL teams are using iPads to replace their paper playbooks.  Think about that: you work in the office of a football team, someone tells you to replace the playbooks with tablets, there happens to be a tablet brand called a Playbook, and you still go with someone else.  And now RIM has to endure headlines written by unknowing sports reporters saying things like, "Broncos the latest team to embrace the iPad, eschew the playbook."

As an aside, can you think of any other companies that sell all their products under a brand name that's not the name of the company (as with RIM/Blackberry?)
