RIM’s ‘Two Distinct Problems’

Joshua Topolsky:

RIM seems to have two distinct problems: the first is that it doesn’t seem to adapt quickly to a changing market, and the second is that when it finally does make a move, the results too often feel half baked. The company and its leaders seem almost indignant about the fact that they no longer lead in a field which they clearly feel they created. The unfortunate reality for RIM is that it’s in the process of trading first place for third, and in an increasingly crowded market, it’s not battling to win, it’s battling to stay alive.

Agreed.
