RIM Denies BlackBerry 10 Delay Allegations: Claims Are “Uninformed” | TechCrunch
@Chris Acky
Reporter: "Blackberry 10 is an awful platform which is going to see massive delays". RIM Publicist: "No, these delay allegations are totally unfounded".
@Graham J
"inaccurate and uninformed"!= "wrong".

The vetting of sources over at BGR has gotten pretty laughable. Whether or not these statements are true, the original post doesn't really say much and makes claims veiled behind a cloak of anonymous source. RIM has already shown off email on the playbook so the sources claims that email doesn't work just like on the playbook is off base. Even the editor of crackberry.com has PIM/email on his playbook. Simple fact checks like this make a huge difference and there should at least be some discretion in news outlets. BlackBerry 10 may very well be a failure, but for an anonymous source to definitively call it one 8 months before release is way out of wack.

Agreed; we won't know until it happens. That's when the truth will surface. By the way, Kyle, I noticed you work with Foursquare. I'm doing market research for my start-up (not HP related at all) and I'm looking for some insight into Social/Geolocation businesses. Would I be able to discuss this with you at a time that's convenient for you?

Shocking, RIM denial.

Check out www.HelpTurnaround.com, an experiment curating community recommendations to help turnaround RIM. Post below from HelpTurnaround: "No need to use buzz words such as “mind share” during press conferences. What RIM needs is market share – simple. How about offering Android OS, Windows OS, and QNX on BlackBerry devices. Sounds drastic, but it may just help RIM regain their market share. BlackBerry’s OS is primitive by current standards, think Palm OS. However, the brand name and hardware still resonates with consumers (typing without keys, hell no!). Given the option to buy an Android HTC, Samsung, or BlackBerry, I would buy an Android BlackBerry. There is strong brand affinity with BlackBerry, and Berrys are perceived as quality devices. I think most folks would buy an Android BlackBerry. This would be similar to how consumers were receptive to Kindle Fire vs. (insert manufacturer) tablets. Hello, market share. Let’s dig into Kindle Fire and Multi-OS BlackBerry analogy deeper. Quite understandably, the phone market is very different from the tablet market. But Amazon’s Fire was a success given the brand affinity (Amazon/ Kindle), perceived quality, and PRICE. Amazon can sell the Fire at a loss, and make up for it with content revenue. RIM can probably steal a page from Amazon’s playbook, but herein lies the problem – there is not enough compelling content for BlackBerry devices. However, by offering Windows OS, Android OS, and QNX on BlackBerry devices RIM can potentially make significant headway in the content space as well. Imagine a curated Android, Windows, and QNX app store with excellent search and discovery features. Hello, Mr. Bezos. Would this alienate RIM’s corporate clientele? Probably not, given RIM’s recent announcement of multi-platform BlackBerry Enterprise solution. Is this a huge undertaking? Sure. Will it be easy? No, but nothing is. The folks in Waterloo are uber smart, so let’s see some results in 2012. "

Hate to be picky... But lobbing a few mortars at RIM? Surely you mean lobbing a few mortar rounds at RIM. They should be grateful to have a few mortars lobbed at them. They need anything they can get to defend their mounting pile of failing products.
