It's going to be similar air coming out a balloon bit by bit. Rising RIM is being referred to the little end, quasi-smartphone. Without a flagship touch-screen, high-end smart-phone, they are going to carry on losing grip."
RIM is banking on its new tablet computer - the Playbook - to take back the idea. It will be partly the size of Apple's iPad and will be well-suited with Google's Android operating system. In addition to the innovative product initiate, the firm is also restoring its operating system.
