What happened to the Blackberry?

The Blackberry, the pride of Canada, is not so popular as it was in the olden days. Apple and Google seem to have taken everything from them. Their customers and money and loving fans. Look at it this way, RIM has lost almost everything and is not even a good seller of phones compared to Microsoft. People only buy it because of BBM, which in my opinion is weird, but now it's on iOS and Android, so RIM wake up!

RIM seems to have a failure already before it started. RIM's Playbook looks like garbage the moment I saw it. RIM must really want to be the pioneer of innovation, because it's OS has a long way to go. RIM is what you call a "late goer". RIM is like the guy who's last invited to the party. RIM is dying in my opinion, a company struggling to survive and find ways to buy its products even though it can't. iPad and it's competitors are still better than the Playbook. It also has low apps and not the best specs you could wish for.

RIM has just lost its game.

The Tablet Wars Have Begun - Who Will You Root For?

The tablet wars have begun with Apple and the iPad. The question is which is better. Apple has got its easy interface and loyal customer base. Google has got their open source linux initiative and their freedom for users. RIM has nothing worth looking at though in my opinion so it's down to the iPad and Google.

The iPad is what is called a computer miracle. It has launched a new industry of personal computers that was ventured and unsuccessful previously. Apple's success is probably due to it's clean interface and easy usability. The iPad was something nobody expected to be a big sucess, but few did as Apple did with the iPhone in the past. The iPad's iOS is closed source which is not what everyone wants, but we all run Windows 7 and Mac OS X which are both closed source and are still wonders right. The thing that probably drags the iPad are the plans offered, but consumers don't mind. Look at the iPad it can do everything your PC can do in a more portable fashion! This is Apple's message to consumers technically. The iPad was the starter, but nobody ever said it was the winner.

Soon after Apple's success came Google. Google launched Android and currently is the second in world mobile OS consumption. It may have fewer apps than Apple, but people appreciate it that it's open source and that Google accepts offers that Apple turns away and shames, only to later want it back desperately like the Adobe Flash incident on iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Airs. Google didn't, but that doesn't make Google a winner either. Google's interface is not the most easiest to use in the world. The word goes: Apple is for consumers, Google is for nerds or patient people.

Google and Apple go head to head everyday finding ways to dominate the mobile market yet they don't always succeed like Apple's iPhone 4 problem and Google's tablet incompatibility. The victor is not set in stone. Google's winning, but nobody knows. As the saying goes, it ain't over till it's over!
