RIM or Research In Motion Limited believes that smartphones will still outshine netbooks no matter what. Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO of RIM stated that he will keep his visions in making smartphones, the foundation of BlackBerry business, amidst the growing popularity of netbooks and mobile internet devices. Consequently, consumers will expect that the BlackBerry company will continue crafting and generating better versions of their original phones. This means that latest editions of BlackBerry smartphones shall have improved form and enhanced features.
Why can BlackBerry easily outperform netbooks? Bob Stutz, a SAP executive answers that question easily with this, “We’ve been down this route with these kinds of devices (referring to iPaqs,notebooks, fliptops and other internet mobile devices). Why we are doing this with RIM today is because these devices don’t work.” At the end of the day, as long as consumers can do the stuffs they want to do with their BlackBerry, BlackBerry will always remain their only choice. What’s your opinion?
