I think Waterloo should be prepared for the worst but hope for the best.<br /><br />As for the 1.0 thing, I got that from Boy Genius Report: http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/30/research-in-motion-is-dead/. I don't know that there's much relation between PB2 and BB10, but I really don't know anything about that. I wish them well...Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-27331627561303559622012-05-28T12:52:09.841-04:002012-05-28T12:52:09.841-04:00This is a thoughtful and interesting article. Well...This is a thoughtful and interesting article. Well done! I disagree with one thing: "This year's release will be 1.0, meaning that it will have lots of insufficiencies and bugs that will take years to work out, and RIM doesn't have time." This is not necessarily the case. RIM has already used the OS for the Playbook and because of the chip shortage they have have many extra months to work out the bugs. So it COULD be a fully functioning OS which works well and encourages app developers. <br /><br />Even if the OS is great, people may not flock to RIM products. Their future is in the overseas markets, or perhaps even with Facebook buying them to make a smartphone. <br /><br />I hope you are wrong on a few other things as well, but it is worthwhile thinking about the RIM downsizing effect on Waterloo and region.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
