Bill McEwen of AInc. tied to RIM?

So it's confirmed that RIM will be bankrupt within a year?

Maybe the new blackberry is running on amiga anywhere.

:biglaugh:

No it runs CommodoreOS. They are also changing the name from BlackBerry to BoingBerry.

I could imagine that RIM will get some indirect help by Apple. The iphone5 just isn't _that_ great. It's good, but ppl start to realize that Apple is boiling with water, too. My expectation is that the Apple hype will slowly decrease now to a rather normal and healthy level. Competitors will get a bit more attention again. I doubt tat RIM products will ever ride a hype wave like Apple, but they have teh chance to regain a better marketshare than today.
They could also put their building quality and social standards more into public reception. I heard they are (among other sites) producing in Germany - no Foxconn suicide slaves. If they produce in the U.S. too, they could ride the "buy American" wave. If the PR department is doing a good job, they will find arguments convincing customers

I had a blackberry for awhile it was the best built phone I ever had. Durable as a clawhammer.

However this video will make them get all the market share they will ever need.
