Perhaps it is being remade. They (finally, belatedly) got rid of the old guard at RIM, including the CEOs. The question is if Thorsten Heins can pull a Jobs. Which isn't a knock on him if he can't - after all, Steve Jobs was an extreme outlier in a field of extreme outliers. That said, Apple turned themselves by mostly abandoning their roots (big beige boxen) and go in a completely different, largely unprecedented direction - I don't see BB doing this. Even the iMac, iconic as it was, wasn't the turnaround point for Apple - iPod was.
