Do not forget the phrase "we never give up" . If you are unsuccessful on something, it doesn't mean that you have to give up but you must try harder to achieve your goal.
Yes, Mr.Roques, I agree with you on this: " they need to do a better job in everything... better phone, better tablet, better OS, better marketing.." Companies in general should aim at making their products better as the best solution for everything. But this is not always possible, which might be the case of RIM.
"I have friends that have 2 iPods (shuffle, as watch and iPod touch), iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro, iMac, Apple TV (true story!)."
And about that: a simple wow! That's a nice iCollection. I wish I had a complete collection just like that. :)
@mario8a, I can't agree more! It seems many people want to write off RIM, forgeting the thrill and fanfare the blackberry brought to all of us, before others joined the portable communication race.
The customers viewpoint is ALWAYS worth listening to. After all,the customer is always right. If it weren't for customers then no business would exist in the first place.
But it is even more important to listen to what the shareholders(especially the Majority shareholders) think and feel about the direction the coming is in and is going.
After all,nobody has a higher stake in the wellbeing of the company than the Shareholders/Owners.
if RIM, feels its best for their share holders if they stick with the smart phone market stricktly, thats up to them, like you mentioned, mine was largely from a customer's point of view.
But i think the customer's view is worth listening too sometimes

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
