| BlackBerry 10 delayed until Q1 2013 |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-06-28 20:42:44 |
| RIM just announced some pretty disastrous financial results, but in the press release, there's something very telling, and quite worrisome for those of us rooting for the Canadian company: BlackBerry 10 has been delayed until the first quarter of 2013. I don't want to call it at this point, but it ain't looking good. |

| Oh, RIM... |

You know when you are a beginner at chess and you play against somebody who's far better and able to see several moves in advance? And you lost almost all your pieces, but you don't quit until you are checkmate, and you keep shuffling your king around while your opponent's pieces are closing in? Yeah. |

| Don't forget the job cuts |

| Today, in addition to their poor financial results and BlackBerry 10 being delayed, they announced that they will be laying off 5000 workers, 1/3 of their workforce. I really want RIM to succeed, but things are not looking good at all. |

..for refusing to use Android as your base OS. Should have seen it coming, first HP, then Nokia and RIM is next.. that assuming they can even pull out a device at this point. |

They didn't even have to do that (though arguably they may as well have) - they just needed to get a partnership with amazon to use their App Store for BlackBerry10/PlaybookOS, or better yet, with google play (though I doubt they would do it - but who knows). Sure they'd lose some app sales, but I wonder how much they are making off that anyway. They came so close to making this a real possibility tech-wise, it is really too bad.
