This really fascinating article from 2010 predicted and explained Blackberry's imminent demise:

It's super long, but scroll down to the graphs where he shows the declining growth and margins, and predicts that Blackberry sales are going to suddenly fall off a cliff two years later, which is exactly what happened.
I'm going to be paying a lot of attention to what this guy says in future.
(For bonus points, compare these graphs to Apple's current figures -- Apple needs to add a new adjacent category soon, or they are toast. TV/iWatch to the rescue?)
- nemothekid 13y agoWow, outstanding read. Considering this guy worked for Apple, Apple may hopefully (for the sake of their stockholders) already know this. Nevertheless, this is quite an intuitive research trend this guy has put together, and makes a lot of sense.
