Happy New Year and welcome back to our weekly news summary. Thanks to the Bank Holiday last Monday we’ve had a relatively gentle start to the year, although I’m sure this week’s CES show in Las Vegas will generate plenty of product news.
Chinese mobile manufacturer ZTE has just announced a new mobile phone design philosophy. It’s called “Caring, Creative, Simple, Smart” and - let’s be honest - you could say it sounds a little trite.
In today’s podcast - our last programme in 2011 - we’re doing our best to predict what’ll be happening in the mobile industry next year.
Will there be big announcements from the Wholesale Application Community? Innovation from Intel? Falling sales at Apple? Reorganisations at RIM? Listen to find out what we forecast.
“He knows if you’ve been bad or good...”
You don’t need to be Santa Claus to appreciate that RIM’s quarterly results have marked a disappointing end to a disappointing year. Yes, the company’s sold millions of BlackBerry phones - but PlayBook sales haven’t been good, its new OS is delayed and its market share appears to be falling. You could argue that 2012 is a make-or-break year for Research In Motion... or at least for its current management.
It’s been an annus horribilis for Research In Motion. In fact, the BBC was already using that very phrase about the BlackBerry manufacturer two months ago.
