RIM RIP?
by John on December 20, 2011
I’ve come across a lot of news and commentary the last few weeks regarding RIM. I think we can all agree they royally screwed up. BlackBerry, not too many years ago was it. It seemed like 5 years ago, for a smartphone you could have a Windows phone or a BlackBerry.
It was a market that RIM seemed to dominate. But there was trouble on the horizon, and just as Palm did. RIM did too. They failed to adapt to the changing technology. Smartphones were about to make a big shift. Put plainly, the mobile OS were just not ready for the technological changes on the horizon. Apple and Android were basically starting from scratch and had the big advantage.
Maybe RIM can turn the ship around, and recapture a portion of what they have lost. But, it’s looking like an impossible task more and more.
