I remember when the Palm CEO dismissed the iPhone, and I'm pretty sure that Ballmer has dismissed every single thing Apple has ever done in the press while rushing to get his engineers to copy it.
You can only assume that fortune 500 CEO's are clueless for so long before you start to assume that they're merely disingenuous: They dismiss all of the competition's products and features until they can release their own copies.
- elblanco 17y agoYou know that RIM is desperately trying to come out with their own touch screen smart phones. But their previous attempts have been disasters. Looking at the recent Blackberry OS's, it's clear that they aren't putting very significant engineering resources to improving the user experience. It's really too late IMHO unless they have some uber-project on the back burner a la Palm's Web OS.
- joezydeco 17y agoI was really really interested in applying for a dev position with RIM out here until I actually tried a Tour. Man, what an awful interface. Everything about it just dripped "don't care". Reading this makes me glad I chose to skip them.
