Will RIM's demise improve innovation?
RIM's market share is shrinking at an alarming rate, especially in the US, and with their miserable track record of delivering new feature-complete products on time I expect their total demise will happen in the coming year. My question though is what impact will this have on the rest of the mobile industry? With RIM finally out of the picture will innovation accelerate? I feel that RIM has been like an anchor that has been slowing down the rest of the mobile industry. With large enterprises and Governments being the most affected by RIMs lack of innovation. I would think that with Microsoft's expierence in the enterprise and business markets that it would be a perfect oppurtunity for them to innovate and succeed where RIM couldn't.
