Blinded by Flash: RIM's Excellent Results, All Eyes on Apple [View article]
"RIMM will have to differentiate by price-- how could it be otherwise?" What a dumb comment - another in a long string of anti-RIM commentary from this guy. How about differentiating by offering true push email/data and being the only "quality of service" provider for data delivery. There is no other service offering that matches what RIM has - how can you not see that?
I love my iPhone, I love my Blackberry. But when I switch from the BB to the iPhone, the data experience doesn't match. Yes, I get an awesome web browser, sweet media player, and cool interface but I don't get instant emails delivered. Anyone who want core communication first and not media will stay with BB.
Regardless, to say one will be dead and the other will prosper is simply ignorant. What the article is really saying, and you should listen Mr. Barta, is that the entire market for all smartphones is growing dramatically. That means there is plenty of business to go around and a number of players can be successful in such a high unit volume market.
