Valley Stream, NY | Too little too late? I think the best path for Blackberry is to partner up with Android. Ability to run android apps would give them an edge. Maybe expanding their product line to Android market and abandon hardware division or maybe mixture of both.
By itself, RIM is probably too far behind to catch up with Apple/Google

kudos:4 | Problem is that RIM doesn't know what it wants to be,other than be Apple. It is a hardware handset maker, and a service provider of mobile messaging, and a mobile OS maker.
Their mobile OS is toast - no one wants it and they should jettison it immediately.
Their hardware has stood still and fallen way behind its competitors. They have a chance to fix that, but have to move way faster than they have done recently. I just don't think they have that in them.
Their secure messaging infrastructure is why they still exist at all and still accounts for the majority of their revenue. But even there the competitors are catching up quickly.
I don't think they have what it takes to rebound and will be in bankruptcy in the next year.

But even there the competitors are catching up quickly. Messaging and the back end management is what made BlackBerry what it was. I agree with you that competitors are quickly catching up/passing RIM. I also don't believe RIM is a turnaround story. It will eventually go the way of Palm IMHO. |

Then he is clearly delusional. |

That's what i think too. I used to love Palm products but OS didn't advance, shifted to BB first and it felt like light years ahead, now i am on android

Meet the new boss...same as the old boss? This is all that needs to be said. said by All Things D :“I don’t think there is a drastic change needed.”
No surprise there, given that Heins, RIM’s former chief operating officer, has been at the company for the past four years. If RIM really wanted someone to blow things up and start over again, they’d bring in an outsider. How's this for not needing drastic change? |

What do you expect him to say? Yep the company is dysfunctional, we have no products, our playbook only sold because we dumped it...
You think there was shareholder revolt before, imagine a CEO saying the company is shit.. nice way to tank the business before you even get started.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |
