After a blistering week for RIM last week, this week started no better with only a .7% P/E ... yes, that's point seven percent (wow).

Then this, which to me is just stupid lack of foresight and bad architecture. Not only do you need to tether the playbook to a blackberry for calendars and contacts, but it seems that the BES server is incapable of allowing more than one device to be connected to an email account at the same time. No notion of IMAP or even kludgy POP3 multi account logins ... just doesn't seem that it can do it.

That's it, they're toast. Enterprise users talking about Blackberry being the real enterprise solution? Say hello to the Apple and Android future.

Sell stock now while you can. It's over. They're going to have to re-architecture just to get current with yesterday. Stick a fork in. Check it here:

It is now believed, that after having lived in one compound with 3 wives and never leaving the house for 5 years, Bin Laden called the U.S. Navy Seals himself.

Well if you look at how their CEO has been behaving lately you should be worried by that enough to be very cautious if you own RIM stock. Their quarter revenue are also down
and they are constantly getting lower revenue per sold unit


So I do agree, unless they do something really radical they are facing a steady decline to not so beneficial acquisition or even bankruptcy if they can't bullshit anybody to buy their fleeing customer base or have some good patents in their backpocket.
