RIM Lowers Its Outlook
RIM (Research in Motion) is brains behind the Blackberry product line and have been having a very good year. Recently they lowered their growth projection from 2.9 new subscriber accounts (quarterly) to 2.6 million. Some people see this as bad news and more gloom and doom, but I think it really just means that RIM is “right sizing” their projections. Blackberry units are on the higher end of the cell phone choice spectrum and consumers seem to be making their cuts starting at the higher end. Consumers are asking themselves questions like “Do I really need a Blackberry; can’t I just get by with a Razr?”. It doesn’t mean the cell phone market is retracting, it just means that Blackberry sales might be slowing down. That aside, 2.6 new subscribers still represents growth over last year it just isn’t as much growth as projected. It’s important to put these kinds of news reports in perspective.
Organize those Blackberry Calls
Do you get a lot of calls? And at the end of the day, what happens when you try to back through those calls? For most of us, it’s a muddled mess of numbers and times. But a new startup company called Redwood Tech will be introducing call tagging software for the Blackberry. Using their system you can tag a call after the call is complete by using customized tags. Then you later you can go online to access their call history and report on it.
This sounds like a great application for anyone who wonders where their day went and somehow has to account for the time. Perfect for people with billable hours. More information here..
