For once they are first to market. Here in India we see their processors on the local manufacturers such as Micromax and Karbonn mobile phones (and recently on Lenovo). This is surely an exciting development for the mid segment phones!

mobile SOC development is changing so fast that I don't see how getting better specs every year is going to nudge consumers to high spec/high spec devices. By 2015 mid-spec devices will have Snapdragon 800 equivalent phones and who needs more horsepower than that. Then it comes down to an ecosystem war. Hope BB is taking that into consideration in developing BB10.
