I saw from the inside and outside how RIM transformed the mobile landscape, and how the company even battled its own inner demons throughout the years. Here are my thoughts on the companys worst quarter in five years:
RIM grew incredibly fast. It grew faster than the company knew how to manage, and RIM slowly â€” and then quickly â€” slipped as a result. This is the company that used to make users choose between a device with Quelle: BGR… [weiterlesen]
