Blackberry has been recently getting a lot of flack in the mobile industry lately for their lack of SuperPhones or High End SmartPhones. Google's Android mobile Operating System has been sky rocketting in the US handset market over the last 9 months according to ComScore. Apple's IPhone is still dominating the US Market as well.
RIM's CO-CEO Mike Lazaridis recently had an interview with PC MAG's journalist about BlackBerry's 10 year plan in the mobile industry. It's a very interesting read. Check out with they have to say. As i've said a 1,000 times before, Blackberry needs to change up there Mobile Operating System. Sure the current version does great for Emailing, BBM'ing, and most general web stuff, but those days are gone. People want all that plus MORE, hence the Iphone, HTC EVO, Samsung Epic, etc... The most major announcement out of CES 2011 in Vegas have been all the Dual-Core powered phones coming out this year. Our days of having the Best and most Powerful Desktop or Laptop computer have changed to having the most powerful and best Smartphone. It's going to be an interesting and competitive landscape this year with the launch of Verizon's Iphone due to maybe occur next week, new Windows Phone 7 phones coming soon, Google's Android just growing like a weed, and last but not least my personal favorite (only because i use one) HP/PALM holding there big press event on Feb 9th for their new line of Smartphones.
However, with all that said, i am very impressed with BlackBerry's new QNX powered Tablet. It's one of the coolest devices i've seen from this company in a long time. Therefore, lets see what Blackberry brings down the pipeline later this year.
Peace,
Sunil
