Research in Motion, known for its private data security and e-mail addicts, may be on the verge of disappearing. Drawing this conclusion may seem strange in light of its recent stock price increases, its 27 percent market share, and the pending release of its iPad competitor, the Playbook. However, RIM’s demise isn’t apparent on the surface. Its misaligned long-term strategy is what will ultimately bring RIM to its knees. Technology and innovation in the smart phone industry have developed at an extremely fast pace. This has caused consumers to upgrade their devices on an annual basis if not sooner. As these devices increasingly become an extension of the life of today’s consumers, supplying innovative, advanced devices is more important than ever. This shifting consumer preference towards iPhone and Android devices (even in the business user segment) is causing RIM to lose market share at an exponential rate.

I couldn’t imagine RIM being in these kinds of problems. I mean, they might not be as dominant as Apple but I’m sure they own great part of the market share. The release of the Playbook will bring fresh vibes to Blackberry’s pocket.
