Here's 2 thoughts about why RIM is taking so long to introduce the BB10 to market.1) It is generally been long acknowledged that RIM has a bullet proof security environment. Nobody can match them. RIM is still the only product carrying the highest security certification, FIPS 140-2 certification, from the US government. They are trying to take the QNX O/S and integrate it with the "Security" of the old BB O/S producing a new product - BB10. RIM initially had the same results that India found. He states "The continued delay of the Blackberry 10 OS is becoming an issue of concern for investors." . Dah! Rim stated at their last AGM that the BB10 would be released in 1Q2013. Why is this analyst making such a dire observation about something that has been a fact for months?This analyst also says "and it continues to burn cash". So does Apple or Samsung. This is what you pay bills with. The VP Finance at Rim said at the last AGM that they would not be burning into the "cash" they have in the bank. It isn't a new platform it's a "Blackberry" the same as all new aapl phones are all "iPhones."Also have you forgotten that RIM has 75 million users who are potential upgrade candidates. Also did you buy wow weapons read an article the other day that the US Government still mandates the Blackberry as the only certified phone device because of it's security. 1. There's something to be said for history. Independent technology analyst Carmi Levy points out that, since the original BlackBerry was designed to run on much slower networks with lower capacity, the devices made extremely efficient use of bandwidth, and today's BlackBerry shares that heritage. "While overloaded wireless networks often crumble under the combined weight of Siri-using iPhone users, BlackBerry users manage to get their message through," he says. "And stay under their monthly data caps." 2. Efficient network usage pays off in unexpected ways. Less data sent and received means lower power usage, and that means longer battery life. It's not unusual for my BlackBerry to go several days between charges. "The BlackBerry may not sport the latest, most full-featured apps when compared to the iPhone and Android," notes Mr. Levy, "but none of that matters toward the end of the day when those other superphones are long dead and the only device with enough juice to send that mission-critical attachment has a RIM logo on it." 3. Nothing can beat a good QWERTY keyboard. Say what you will about soft keyboards (the Windows Phone 7 version is quite nice), but for heavy messagers, a QWERTY with buttons is best. And most BlackBerrys have good QWERTY keyboards. "If high-volume messaging-on-the-go is your thing," says Mr. Levy, "you have pretty much only one choice." 4. BlackBerry is the gold standard in mobile security. Transmissions are encrypted, end to end. It may not seem important at first blush, but with the increasing number of apps making financial transactions, be they banking or shopping or mobile payment, it's critical to make sure those transmissions are secured. Barack Obama sports a Blackberry.5. Everything works together. "Its tight integration of hardware, operating system, software and services is a boon to consumers and businesses looking for a one-stop-shop solution," says Mr. Levy. "You're not just buying a device in the distant hope that it'll work with the rest of your messaging solution. For many businesses, RIM is the only vendor they need to call." 6. You can filter e-mail sent to the device. If you subscribe to a high-volume mailing list, for example, with any smartphone but the BlackBerry every single message from that list will wend its way to your device. That isn't cheap. With a BlackBerry, you can prevent those messages from crossing the airwaves. 7. You can download headers only. This is a method some desktop e-mail programs have used for years over slow connections. Microsoft Outlook still has the feature. You can configure your BlackBerry to download only message headers, and wait until asked to pull down the rest of a message. This gives you faster retrieval and uses less bandwidth. 8. Want to save even more money? BlackBerry compresses the data it does transmit. And this combined with header download and filtering can cut bandwidth usage (and roaming costs) tremendously. In a head-to-head comparison, BlackBerry roaming costs were one-tenth of those for a standard smartphone. That is not to be sneezed at. 9. A BlackBerry multitasks. It will happily run more than one app at a time. And it allows you to sync your data with a PC or Mac if you want to. 10. Its capacity expands. Unlike some other smartphones, it supports external storage such as a micro SD card, expanding its capacity by as much as 32 GB. I could add some additional comments:11) To date the Blackberry Playbook is the ONLY tablet Security certified for use by the US Government.12) When the Bureua of Alcohol etc says that it has given permission for Users to swap out their Blackberrys what volume are they talking about? 5000 Users. Haliburton published the same comment several weeks ago. It turns out they are talking 3800 Users. RIM shipped over 25 Million boxes.
