They have the revenue and I think Apple has the experience with the iTunes servers to make a Push solution work.
RIM has to re-think, re-engineer the 9xxx series, with iPhone, HTC..etc. making super devices RIM cannot afford to rely on push-solution as a selling point. |
I agree. Look what is happening with Palm right now. They had a great product for its time, but instead of improving it, they sat on it, coming out with only minor improvements over the years. Now others have passed them by and Palm is now on serious life support. Could this happen to RIM, you bet ya. The iphone has just come out and I'm sure some of the lacking features will be added to future models. The Google phone, based on Linux, is forthcoming, and even Win Mobile (still crap in my mind) is making in roads.
RIM needs to move forward, which I think they are, albeit very slowly. To say that it works fine now and they have nothing to worry about is both stupid and narrow minded. If RIM adopts that mind set, it is doomed.
