these threads always puzzle me.... same as nokia and symbian being old, and palm os. just think in 2 years android will be old and outdated too! puzzling threads.
if its not broken why change it? why restructure a whole company and the ever implemented handset just for a new os? blackberry needs 2 things to help them 1 java based cpu's to speed them up their sluggish sorry, and still expand ram on them. atleast 1-4 gigs base memory. |

I will agree RIM has been slow to adapt but after attending the developer conference they are fully prepared for what they need to accomplish. I am going to mix in comments below.
As a longtime software developer, it's painful watching how obviously dated their OS is, how dated their development processes are and how they are struggling to adapt and catch up: + Luanch of their "store" Yes this is way late. They should have hate this worked out when Apple launched theirs. The app store was no secret. I am still not totally buying into RIM's ideas of how to implement it but we will see. + Luanch of a touch-screen device Yay finally did. I think timing was good. I think a launch around the same time as the iPhone would have been very bad. + Widely publicized and marketed developer conference (I wonder what attendance was like in comparison to developer conferences put on by Apple and Google) Attendance was well over 1,000 which was surprising to many for the first every conference like this for RIM. RIM actually let you meet face to face for an unlimited time with a developer. + Email ? Where is the forum where I can "talk" to developers, and really feel like they are listening? I might as well drop a letter to them in a mailbox. If you are a member of RIM's developer program you have access to a private forum that allows you access to developers at RIM. They are very responsive. + Archaic OS update process that always has one crossing one's fingers I agree and this is changing. + No over the air update process I am glad to have seen and tried an OTA OS update on the 9530, very smooth and fast. + Lack of release notes with each OS Don't know if this will ever change + Frequent beta releases of OS's I think you will see a lot more. Because RIM places the OS' in the carriers hands for approval there is a delay. Do you notice all the recent leaks, especially when the carriers are dragging their feet . . . . |
collecting data isn't necessarily a BAD thing, "personalization" is where everything is moving towards ... people want things that are relevant to them
|
Data collection goes on all the time. From the those keyfobs many of use use in the grocery story, to what TV channels we watch, to what websites we visit. Without advertising, many services would either be very expensive, or simply won't exists at all. I would rather have ads tailored to my preferences, then a bunch of generic ads for male enhancement and women's makeup. And how many people here use gmail or the Google search engine. No worse then Android.

first off heres some schooling, linux is as secured as you make it. dont include some windows wanna be flavor like ubuntu, a real linux dist, is fully customized. by you the user, know what you want. (and exploits exists on linux too!) now why do people go linux over ms? its cheaper, and considering most go Redhat linux which is on a subscription base that comes with SUPPORT! thats cheaper to implement then say the same bang for the bux with ms, hence they use linux. so yes i dont get what you are saying. do you even have a linux box? or is it like lol ubuntu the linux for dummies dist? and ever wonder why ubuntu patches even more then microsoft for security problems? hmmmm its gatta be SAFE! but why linux, what about unix, bsd, etc? picking a flavor of the month does not mean its better. but thanks for the pointers, even tho i hacked more unix systems then windows just cause they were server, its not safer. the fact when people buy a rim product, its for communications, they want to be reached 24/7, they buy an iphone so they can have a mp3 player, and android, well lets leave this as beta for now, since google is great at that tag. |

Here is an interesting article about this very idea.
RIM and Google: The Perfect Storm? | Tech Broiler | ZDNet.com Seems like a good idea to me. |

Just my $0.02 but I think RIM should offer the option of a hybrid OS that runs android apps in a VM with the standard BB OS as a host. I also think that recently the BB OS has been evolving well and all we need is more devs that are willing to code for BB's.
