They have a hardware phone ready for a operating system that wont be around until next year. That in itself is not a good situation to be in and one that is being overlooked on the back of this delay until 2013.
That in itself will mean they are lined up to take a hit on hardware and this is a operating system that wasn't new. QNX has been aroudn for a while and they only had to add a few bits and in that they have failed and failed and failed adding delays and delays until everybody has lost faith. They were struggerling to embrace there developers on the old platform and alienated so many.
Who would develop for a platform that is constantly being delayed and has a development enviroment that is so behind other options that you are in effect limiting yourself to developers who have sado masacistic tendancies and are in no rush to see there product released.
Apart from some from of TAX write of I cant think of any reason to develop for RIMs new OS.
I also have to wonder what they have been doing to get into this state as they have not inovated in any way since 2007. How many wasted hows have they spent on developers in house who have failed to deliver, how many hours and people as the results they are showing are akin to a single person doing all the work. Even then I'd put a single person against what they are producing in the timeframes involved.
Sad part is they will eventualy do BBM as application for android and apple.
Only one thing going for them, or at least was and been overlooked by RIM's marketing and that is this question: If you have all the standard protection available enabled - what phone would you feel comfortable loosing with all your data? Would you feel your data is safe on a iPhone or a Android or a Blackbery, which one would you feel safest?
