Interesting comment from Senior Executive at Apple
I am not sure if this belongs in this section but I wanted to share a comment that a senior level executive from Apple made to me.
I won't get into how or why I know them but I asked what they thought of RIM and Blackberry in general and what was it that Apple has done right in the last few years.
They said BB is a good product that use to be great. In their opinion they still have a chance to turn the corner and make a come back if they can change it up and identify who and what their market is and were there is room for growth.
For them at Apple they felt consumers were more important than business/corporate driven sales. That building brand loyalty and in-person customer support via their stores was really the way to go. Have to say with Apple and Exxon-Mobile battling out for the most valued company in the U.S. says a lot.
And to the executive's credit they did NOT BASH RIM - their comment basically pointed out that RIM, like Apple did a few years ago, needs to reinvent themselves and come out swinging with something new.
