if you read his piece, back in 2010, it still was believed that RIM and Nokia could hold their marketshare through BB and Windows Mobile.
what mr. dediu did not foresee was the complete ineptitude of two major players to accomplish anything. billions of dollars were wasted by these companies, it is quite amazing. therein lies the reason for nokia being gone in 2013 and blackberry laying off 40% of its staff.
the technology world is quite remarkable in its speed of change and unbelievablly massive changes of output quality. a market-defining leader can turn to a pile of steaming shit within a couple of years. imagine BMW producing Lada-style cars within the next product cycle.
and this closes the circle to the BW piece and Mr.Cook's statement - innovate or die.
