"besides the Playbook much of their plans remain a mystery" Likely to RIM as well.

  Mean. Probably true too.

    I must sigh and agree. As lost and flailing as RIM can seem right now, though, the company seems to have its path for the next 18 months cut out for it. In theory, they finally have everything they should need–a solid next-gen OS with a cadre of engineers who understand it inside and out, a hardware division with a wealth of experience, and now a surprisingly forward-thinking and experimental UI design acquisition that could work wonders if allowed to inform the entire product design process. They just need to get them all working together. And that's the part I'm most worried about.

      Yea I mean there are tons of examples in the tech world of a bunch of disconnected features that on their own are great but aren't properly integrated or carry some simple flaws that prevent them from shining. When trying to predict the weather, asking what the weather was yesterday is always the best prediction model. What will RIM do next year? Probably what they did last year. Flail and lose market share :)
