How RIM handed the mobile market over to Apple

Hint: It has nothing to do with touch screens.

While RIM (http://rim.com) scrambles to create the next greatest device, or their “iPhone (http://www.apple.com/iphone) killer” it needs to recognize that it’s no longer about the device. RIM don’t you remember that touchscreens aren’t new.. Palm had them back in the 90′s … before you crushed them.

When RIM ruled the world RIM knows what it takes to dethrone the current market leader. RIM accomplished just that crushing a powerful and established palm. RIM was successful where palm wasn’t for two reasons.
