RIM�s comeback gains speed on reports of strong BlackBerry 10 sales
More to come
�There�s some platforms out there now that are ubiquitous, there�s a lot of prevalence with them,� Mr. MacLeod said. �There�s just a hunger and a desire for people to see what�s new and innovative and different. ... That�s why we�ve seen a lot of the pre-sales and pre-reg has been from other platforms, they haven�t just been from BlackBerry.�
But even as RIM rolls out the Z10 across the globe, and the BlackBerry Q10 � which has a physical keyboard � will follow, it is clearly just a beginning for RIM.
Mr. MacLeod said �there�s a robust roadmap� of devices to come over the next year: They will be aimed at people who want devices in different shapes and sizes, and at the big emerging markets, such as Nigeria and Indonesia, where BlackBerry is still a strong brand.
�Whether you want a smaller screen, a bigger screen � whether you want a hybrid between a smartphone or a tablet � I think what�s important is we now have a platform that can support all of those different preferences,� he said. �We will listen to the market and given them what they desire and want.�
