Blackberry a failing company, Playbook making no money?
Oh my oh my, the business plans behind the Blackberry Playbook appear to be going down in to the history of fails, after BGR have released an article talking about the rise and fall of the once heavily competing company and in that suggesting that the Playbook, Blackberry’s (for me) only good product that they’ve made in the last 3 years, isn’t making any money. To give you an idea of Blackberry’s current failings, I see no better way to do so than to post a snippet of the article in question, so here you go;
“There was no three-year plan at RIM.” RIM would be proud of the fact that someone would only use 1MB of data in a month in 2005, and as a result, there wasn’t ever any extensive R&D done within the browser space. Over time, that misstep affected BlackBerry tremendously as competing devices began to deliver desktop-like Web experiences. “Mike Lazaridis couldn’t imagine that consumers would be spending hours watching and streaming video to their devices, he couldn’t understand it,” the former exec continued. This is why we don’t see RIM excelling in spaces like camera technology, or displays — because the company never even attempted to anticipate the smartphone trends we’re seeing today. “RIM is a reactionary company.”
