          Anonymous, 24 Mar 2013i now hate blackberry with passion since my curve 9320 mess... moreYea same here..first curve 9360 at year 2011 then I bought curve 9220 recently..keep hang and restart due to app error os7.0..funny latest hardware 1GHZ and 512mb Ram should be enough to handle RIM OS(compare to android device which only 800mhz and 256mb Ram run more smoother on gingerbread)...seems like BB CEO taking too much drug or drunk..keep on dreaming RIM!

              The CEO is so jealous of other mobile companies.. BB isnt much in demand none of its devices sells much.so thats y hes saying like this and btw no one needs a computer in mobile for that their are laptops and pc's available in market.

                He is obviously envious of other platform success. His got crab mentality- that is dragging the top guy down. I played the BB Z10 at the store and didn't like it. It's BORING!!!

                    AnonD-77318, 24 Mar 2013it's just a theory but actually wp os is sucks! boring and ... moreI doubt you have used a WP8. It has plenty of apps and Xbox games with achievements. New apps are coming everyday. There are some cross platform games between WP8, Windows 8/RT, and Xbox 360 just recently released.

                        BB CEO may have said what he believes on wrong foot, but considering the limitations of tablets and netbooks he is right - Android and WP haven't been very innovative to drive hardware development, been rather complacent in what they have around. Having said that, BB CEO could have been more specific about what they are doing in that direction to revolutionize computing in mobile devices. I hope he noted what's going around SAP nowadays - lessons for thought.

                            "Mobile computing is "taking a computer and all necessary files and software out into the field."

                            "Mobile computing: being able to use a computing device even when being mobile and therefore changing location. Portability is one aspect of mobile computing."

                            "Mobile computing is the ability to use computing capability without a pre-defined location and/or connection to a network to publish and/or subscribe to information."
                            Examples: tablet computer, personal digital assistant (PDA, ultra mobile PC, smartphone, carputer is installed in an automobile, plus a mobile data transmission system(s). Boundaries that separate these categories are blurry at times, what is his definition??

                                I'd be nearly thinking about getting a Q10 if they were half the price.

                                    what the ceo want to say is " Blackberry is the real mobile computing platforms" but who believe it for now? maybe that's the next product motto.. just wait n see after the tablet loosing maybe BB will arise or losing again. lol

                                      Yea right ? . Don't think so...Android still the best free source in terms of mobile computing which RIM fail to give the best although BB Os10 in end of 2012 ?
                                      Actually smartphone nowadays are daily use of our life thanks to Google for giving android. I still remember how people make fun android in the beginning of their vision but as you can see today android is in all smartphone in this world.
