RIM’s newest BlackBerry (yes, remember those) has been launched to an underwhelming response (which really isn’t a surprise). However; what is a surprise is that the company keeps trying to milk this model vs. actually coming out with something new (hardware aside, like a radically differentiated OS as a start).
The writing is clearly on the walls: impressive hardware releases with lots of updated features / functionality and consumer choice for selecting their carrier of choice (particularly in America) are what’s in demand (as an alternative to Apple’s iPhone juggernaut). Yet; RIM just stumbles on… it looks like to oblivion at this point in time with the way they are failing forward…
