I understood why they focused on what was essentially their bread and butter. I'd like to think that most businesses wouldn't want to risk losing its core base. I know I wouldn't. However, when the iPhone was introduced and made such a huge splash in this industry, someone at RIM should have started thinking outside the box and paying close attention to Apple and the changing smartphone landscape especially after witnessing the runaway success that Apple attained with the iPod. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20, right...
4 years ago I thought they should create a new consumer focused division.
It still might have been too late, they may have executed badly due to the biases of their corporate culture.
'What might have been' is just a whimsical distraction from 'What is'.
