What RIM should really be whining about

摘要

IN A NEW YORK TIMES interview recently, Reseacrh in Motion Ltd. co-CEO Mike Lazaridis called out financial analysts and media pundits for their negative sentiment on the BlackBerry brand. "Why is it that people don't appreciate our profits?" Lazaridis asked. "Why is it that people don't appreciate our growth? Why is it that people don't appreciate the fact that we spent the last four years going global? Why is it that people don't appreciate that we have 500 carriers in 170 countries with products in almost 30 languages?" The smart phone maker's other CEO, Jim Balsillie, also reacted to the growing sea of BlackBerry haters. "No other technology company other than Apple has successfully transitioned their platform," he said, adding that the move is almost never done and is way harder than many people realize.
