RIM is already seeing a lot of competition from rivals like Microsoft and Palm . |
RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full throttle and coming out with new devices and technologies. |
They need to get over these hurdles with NTP to compete in the marketplace. RIM is now dealing with these legal issues instead of focusing their own resources to compete against rivals like Microsoft. |
What Nokia did in the end was to bypass RIM and go straight to NTP. It's really unfortunate for RIM to still be dealing with the same issues, which haven't been resolved. It's definitely adversely impacting their business model. |
