blackberry’s problem isnt mtaierkng. or perhaps a better way of stating it is that mtaierkng isnt blackberry’s ONLY problem. Thier app store is a joke, developers are voting with thier coding that they simply refuse to work with such a monolithic architecture. Web browsing on blackberry devices is laughable. These are just two problems that come to mind which brings us to the decision that customers have to make. Little Johnny. Would you like a phone with a cool thumb keyboard that can’t reasonably do anything else but be a phone and send email or would you like a virtual keyboard with a device that can currently do 300,000 things and growing? Hmm. Blackberry is going the way of Nokia. Nokia sat back on a few key patents and a big corporate laurel and belived that was going to be a dynasty. Dear hardware makers (this goes to all of them, Apple included), Sexy curves or touch screens are fads. Battery life and durabilty are relative. Speeds and feeds of one-off hardware isn’t driving this market. Its data. What, you say?! Heretic, I know, but its true. If i can get to my banking data, create USEABLE picture (sorry Blackberry, your camera capabilities suck, too) data, browse web data, play music data, access cloud data, VPN into my work for presentations data you get it, its data. the more access to it, the more usable the device. Blackberry, you don’t get it. You silo your customers away from thier data with your rigid, unscalable product. its scalable to an enterprise, but you forgot that an enterprise is simply one aspect of a person’s life. Devices are aligning with data. Data is aligning with life and any device that stands to be a barrier to getting to all your data and being usable to all your data, is a Betamax. You believed you would be OK because, after all, who else are you going to go with those Apple clowns? or those Search engine nerds? HA. Oh, wait. I’ll be looking for your company to be the next Tandy computer, a legend that i can tell my kids about back before phones could control my stereo, my alarm system and the temperature in my house oh, and take a call.
