After reading and studying all the negative press all accross the world in relation to RIM's proposed demise, I've come to the conclusion that RIM is not going anywhere anytime soon. As a matter of fact, RIM may very well see it's best year ever in its history.
In my personal opinion, it seems as though many would really like to see RIM once and for all be removed from competition so others may floorish. This is what I've been desifering from many negative news releases. There's a lot of anger in this smart phone industry.
So why all the negativity toward RIM? Wasn't it RIM that invented the "Smart Phone" called the BlackBerry? Yes, they took innovation to the extreme and launched this new unique mobile platform experience. RIM was responsible for pushing this particular industry into what we know and have today.
Then came the competition. Personally competition is great news, RIM was caught sleeping at the helm, and yes this happends. They let Google's Android and Apple's iOS dominate, flurish, and strip away market share from RIM. This is well deserved for both competators because they too pushed innovation, took what RIM created and made it much better.
If RIM did not pioneer the Smart Phone, then were would we be today? I think everybody should be rootring for BlackBerry 10's success, especially people that currently use Android and iOS based devices. Why you may ask, well haven't you all enjoyed the innovations brought to us by Android and iOS at the time BlackBerry was the dominating player.
The same can now be said for RIM's BlackBerry 10 platform. This process is repeating itself, but this time it's the creator, the inventor, the pioneer of the Smart Phone and the last thing we need in this industry is to block innovation at its finest, because if we had done so in the past, we wouldn't have gone this far in mobile technology.
Lets take a page out of Aristotle, the Ancient Greek (384 BC-322 BC) that lived in Athens Greece. He came out with many interesting theory's many that we use today, many that were correct and many that were eventually proven wrong. It's the last that interests me, because if it wasn't for Aristotle and his theory's this world would be more than 2,000 years behind in technology alone. You see becuase of Aristotle, he made people think, he made people try to prove him wrong. This is how we evolved and advanced, by making people think outside the box. The same can be applied to the mobile industry.
We should all be excited about BlackBerry 10 and what it offers and how it may once again potencially streer the industry in the right direction, into the future. BlackBerry 10, being the best mobile platform ever created to date will now further motivate Google, Apple and Windows to push innovation for a healthy competative market.
I am very exited about BlackBerry 10 and where it's going to lead us.
Anyway I had a BB it was OK of course it wasn't a 10 but still to me its just another fad. Next week next month another "new" phone will come out. Then all the kids these days will flock to it. Look at Apple now. It wasn't that long ago everyone and their mamma wanted a iphone 5. What a waste now it must a been a real POS.
