It's funny, though I have been saying the same about RIM and a few of those who have left BlackBerry to go elsewhere been switching back to it. It's a messaging tool some can't let go. I guess the switch from iPhone back to BlackBerry is a strange one for many of us. By the way, if you are Android coming from BlackBerry my article "From CrackBerry addiction to Android: My Transition" on Android Authority, explains about SwiftKey - use it if you are having trouble going to touch screen from BB.

As always, Gary, great content. You're right about people not caring about the device. I started my Jim's Jems newsletter on paper in 1991. I'm still here. Could care less about devices. It's communication we're doing, not selling widgets. Going to work now on my personal development box:-)

BTW, the cut away camera is distracting. You either need someone to direct you to look to it or just lose it altogether. NIce tie though:-)

Also, I agree on Pinterest, but they need to invest in their infrastructure. The site bogs way too often.

The music is a bit too loud in the background. Hard to concentrate on the message.

@TheLeaderGuy HAHAHAH!

@winewanker I would always mention if I am paid to talk up and publicly always come out with my investments, I am not involved in Pinterest, 4S or RIM and I just think RIM is in trouble

Gary,

Assuming you're going to tell us if any of these folks are paying you to talk them up?

Transparency is key.

Since you critiqued wine as a retailer, are you getting paid to critique media platforms by media companies?

I ask because you make it sound as if RIM cannot move beyond Blackberry. They're a huge company that can come out with newer, more relevant models of the Blackberry.

So for you to announce their doom and gloom seems naive at best.

I predict that only 50% of the protections have a 60% accuracy to happen in 2012.
