    1) After RIM’s fall over the past few years, they have brought in a new man to be CEO and Barbara Stymiest is taking over as chair. The reaction to the choice to make Thorsten Heins the new CEO was seen as too little too late. People don’t feel that Heins will be able to shake up the company enough to make a big enough change. They are hoping the new phone coming out from Blackberry called BB 10 will do well. They have a lot riding on this, it is an all touch screen phone. I think this will be good to compete with the younger generation but the average blackberry user likes the blackberry for business purposes and the keyboard most say is easier for that. The advertising for this phone will have to be huge to bring back the former RIM users. Doing some research on it, it sounds like they are trying to incorporate all three of their main competitors and making sure this phone is personalized to each user.…

    A smart phone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first smart phones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) with a mobile phone. Later models added the functionality of portable media players, low-end compact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smart phones also include high-resolution touch screens and web browsers that display standard web pages as well as mobile-optimized sites. High-speed data access is provided by Wi-Fi and mobile broadband. In recent years, the rapid development of mobile app markets and of mobile commerce has been drivers of smart phone adoption.…
