Cam RIM be saved?

[Centurion40]

I dunno.  I think that it may be too late.

I dunno. Tech companies have turned themselves around before, but it's rare.

I'm surprised RIM is still around.

If my company stupidly keeps buying the devices, they will.

I suspect they will eventually be sold off to Samsung

I wonder what assets are worth buying?

[MIGMaster]

I suspect some of their network infrastructure and IR's are probably of interest...

I want that OS for my laptop instead of winblows vista. Can you imagine how fast that OS would run on a real computer? Overhead sucking from your gaming 0.001% of CPU.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Lets petition Steam to make it the new gaming platform. Have all PCs dual boot QNX with all steam games running on it. Can the big guy do it?

At this point, anything RIM does is to little to late. They've taken 2-3 years to get BB10 to market, and in that time both Android and iOS have cut more and more into RIM's use in the corporate world, which was the only thing RIM really had going for it. And without proper carrier support, launching a new mobile OS in the current climate is doom the failure. Without a carrier to get behind an OS and push, much like Verizon did with android and the original droid, then launching a new OS at this point is doomed to failure.

I wish I would not have switched from my BB to iPhone.  Now the company is pushing everyone to iPhones
