Article title is a bit misleading IMO, they are offering everyone Tread+ subscription for free (for 3 months) until the software feature is released to non paying members. Agree it's not the best customer experience but it doesn't really "brick" users from using the treadmill although does make it inconvenient for users that need to now sign up for Tread+

This article is just BS if you are blaming RIM on Southern Ontario because it doesn't have any talent you clearly have no idea about it. How can you compare Wisconsin to Ontario that's just stupid.
