Re: not willing to adapt to change
Pedro,

Absolutely right!

There is an enormous amount of Potential in the Medical Space going ahead.

Can you imagine the massive-massive Cost-reductions possible in Medical Care if there is more competition in the Medical Equipments/Suppliers space?

The possibilities are endless as long as Apple does'nt stick to its enormous Brand Premium as they do on Smartphones.

In that case ,Google and MSFT will eat their lunch!

LOL!

Re: not willing to adapt to change
I read a lot of articles that the medical field is in great need to redesign all the electrical devices because they aren't very good to use.  I think this is the field that Apple could really make a difference in the health field. Imagine the Iblood pressure, Imedical bed.

Re: Blackberry Classic
CBJ,

Question is -Is it too little too late to save RIM from total extinction?

This is what I personally feel about this issue today.

Re: Blackberry, we hardly knew ye
asksqn,

The RIM Management have made too many mis-steps too quickly to keep up with the competition.

And neither are they able to innovate as fast as their competitors(at low costs either).

Guessing having their entire Management team concentrated in and around North America really did'nt help matters much?

Re: not willing to adapt to change
Pedro,

I am guessing that's why Apple is chasing the iCar idea so aggressively??

Have you also noticed that the iWATCH was a massive Sales Disaster?

They need to reinvent their strategy bigtime if they want to keep this superb success rate going further.

My recommendation?

Look at the IoT Craze properly.

That and Medical industry.

Re: not willing to adapt to change
Stratustican,

You remind of the Fondness/longing which Fins had for Nokia.

Sad but true reality is that its very much an innovate or perish mantra in this space today.

What never ceases to amaze me is how inspite of being so robust (and relatively speaking) popular and having relatively speaking sticky consumers ,RIM really messed up bigtime in the Enterprise space,

There are so many Android users who won't hesistate to switch to an iphone and viz if the features they so desire are present there.

But RIM has some incredibly sticky consumers.RIM should have built their entire company catering to their needs only.

Re: not willing to adapt to change
@ angelfuego. as you know they are "it" now but that doesn't mean they will be "it" forever. I wonder what will be their strategy to stay dominant.  I'm sure they do not want to be the next Blackberry.  May be that is why they are moving to other devices, once the iphone starts losing steam they got other products stand by.  May be the new Chinese phones will overtake the iphone.

It's a damn shame that Blackberry management was unable/unwilling to adapt to market changes in order to compete with smartphone tech.

Perfect Storm
I didn't even know that BlackBerry released the Storm back in the days. How they even considered that it could overtake the iPhone is beyond me. They could have released the new Classic in 2008 and we, probably would be writing another story for RIM.

Blackberry Classic
The Blackberry Classic is the way to go! Look online at the reviews from BUSINESS men and women alike, the Classis is here and taking back the Business world. RIM must have listed to their continuants because this is one or shall I say, the BEST release yet. Everything flows so well and the keyboard is CRITICAL to avid email users. I enjoy this phone so much I am considering buying one for my self as I have had two prior to my two iPhones.
