RIM's Rise and Fall (infographic)
Posted on Tue, Apr 24, 2012
We all know that RIM has taken a plunge in popularity, but if you want to know just how far it has fallen, take a look at this infographic from MBA Online, which traces RIM from its humble beginnings as the world's first "smart phone" and business darling through its meteoric rise and finally to its steep decline.
If you want to know why, look at what happened in 2007 with the introduction of the iPhone and the corporate inertia that followed. It was precisely at that moment in June, 2007 -- although we didn't know it at the time, of course -- that marked the beginning of RIM's downturn.
The title itself might be a bit melodramatic. RIM's not dead yet, but it's not resting comfortably either.
