RIM stands ground against iPhone
Waterloo, ON based Research in Motion yesterday promised further growth to its shareholders. RIM cheifs sounded very confident about the release of a new BlackBerry spartphone that can access both Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The new BlackBerry 8820 will be RIM’s first dual-mode smartphone, and its thinnest with a keyboard.
Sure the BlackBerry will have some new toys, but it sure won’t be the only dual-mode device out this year. It’s also coming out only weeks after the much-hyped and anticipated release of Apple’s iPhone, which can handle phone calls, e-mail, web browsing, music, and videos (not to mention its superb looks and design). Clearly RIM is not to keen on letting Apple bully the market. with its iPhone. But are RIM cheifs too confident, and making empty promises to its shareholders? We’ll have to wait and see.
