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 | Re: Too little too late? 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.

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. | |

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....... | |

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

@comcastbusiness.net | RIM should capitalize their strengths Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Blackberry email is the best thing about their devices. Even today the 'droid doesn't have anything remotely close to it. (Both Maildroid and K-9 are seriously lacking). I'm more than half tempted to switch back to Blackberry because of email alone.
License Blackberry email to to both Apple and 'droid. Instant market, and the day is saved. | |

| | not coCEO, some of their VPs and VPs's expert destroy RIM Don't blame CEO, they want RIM win.
RIM has strange culture and self distruct political environment.
In RIM if a new hired person figure out major problem and introduce efficient approach, both manager and his buddy group member will proof their wrong approach works. just like someone point out driving a car is right way, pushing a car is wrong way, then both manager and his buddy group member will hate you, and proof that 3 person can also move the car by pushing it. cheating email will be sent to some vice president, saying like: see, the car moving, pushing a car is a natural part of the process, in order to deny new hired contribution of introducing skill of drive a car, they have to deny merit of driving a car.
It is very strange company culture and strange company political environment, it promote stealing and cheating skill. RIM's management may be a typical instance in MBA course.
This culture deny or steal hardworking team members' contribution/innovation, generate strange political environment, destroy RIM.
So don't blame CEO, some of their VPs and VPs' expert generate terrible culture and self destruct political environment. | |
