This quarterly report is the beginning of the end for the Research in Motion, which is in motion to exit the mobile business by the year 2015. Year 2010 has ended two platforms future: Symbian and webOS. The RIM leadership will deny the company is on the rim of sliding, but the facts picture a telling story: sliding world wide market share, declining sales, low interest in new products (Playbook), stagnant apps count, deep vertical integration tying business units together in the tight grip.
this FT.com article describes the state of RIM well.
My prediction is that Microsoft will be taking over RIM market share because of the primary BlackBerry target segment is enterprise customer, segment where Microsoft is the most comfortable and has track record or success, when iPhone and Android are more consumer products.
