RIM plans to give developers prototypes BB10 in May. With slumping sales, BB10 could not come any sooner. It’s unfortunate that RIM has such a slow product development process. With both Google and Apple moving at lightening speeds, can the famed Blackberry survive? Up to 2,000 of the BlackBerry 10 test models will be given to developers.  Playbook 2.0 gave us a preview of what we can expect to see with the new BB10 phone. The question is, will it be enough? In Canada, RIM recently lost its top place. Canadian’s support RIM, however how much longer can they wait? My own experience with the new Playbook 2.0 has been delightfully good. It’s a great tablet, at the price point. However it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the Apple ecosystem. We can only hope that RIM maintains its strong hold on the business market. RIM has excellent products, however only time will tell if it’s enough to stem the slow burn.
