can the media destroy rim

Today Apple announced earnings of 30 billion dollars and a profit of 7 billion for the quarter...thats 3 months of business...Fuck! apple is a pure capitalistic company, deliver a good product that is made great by an ecosystem of talented developers of apps. there is nothing truly extraordinary about an iphone when compared to other devices other than their design and the apps. it makes it a useful device and people love the endless uses it has. this post is not about the fact i couldnt answer my iphone because its become sluggish or the fact that it doesnr really multitask all that well..no thats maybe a different post.

this is about rim, a couple months ago i bought a playbook by rim. its a good device however its got a ways to go to match ipad ability. one being native email support. we are probably talking about a few months of updates. although if you were to listen to the media, you would think the playbook is dead. there are rumors that it will be discontinued and every executive who leaves rim is reported by the media as another nail in the coffin for rim. the only balanced comments seemss to be from the users of rim or loyalists of the phones who express how much they enjoy using their playbook. its funny how quickly we and the media are ready to bring down a comoany or pit one as a loser against another and the distortion is so great. there is room for apple, android and yes the playbook, they each have their strengths. i am an apple fanboy but i dont agree with the company's negative marketing, arrogance and overpricing. i believe that Apple will take a mighty tumble when Steve jobs dies and they will find the need to reinvent themselves much like rim is having to do now. lets hope the media is a little less nasty on Apple.
