    Research In Motion (RIMM) is readying two BlackBerry 10 phones for early 2013, CEO Thorsten Heins tells AllThingsD. One is a touchscreen-only device similar to a prototype shown at an uninspiring conference, and the other has a keyboard. Heins also calls RIM's data network, the subject of IBM buyout rumors, a "key strategic asset," and says he isn't worried about missing the holiday season since carriers tell him most of their Q4 business is prepaid. Apple and Samsung would beg to differ.

  • I'm even more evil than that, goldmanscahes. I want America to be the premier imperialistic entity of the world, subjugating all. My favorite movie is "The Chronicles of Riddick" where the Necromancers embrace, envelop and incorporate all cultures in their way, tossing aside the chaff. Ah, what a concept!

    Take a nap my friend. You sound a bit stressed.

  • Please clarify your use of the word uninspiring. If you are referring to the developer comferences, the response from developers was overwhelmingly positive.

  • My call is for FB to be almost cut in half by year end....my shorts on FB far exceed my RIMM....

    As far as RIMM, it isn't just about money.... guys need to learn to take a loss with more ease, change their minds so that they can pursue better opportunities....the psychological skills are even more important then the money they have invested....things worsen and they want to double down, dig their trenches, and brave the onslaught like Custer....

    The worst thing that can happen to these guys is RIMM recovering, because the exact wrong lesson will be learned and they will fall prey to the next situation as well, but with even more resolve.....
