Blackberry Thunder on The Wall Street Journal

blackberry-thunder-on-the-wall-street-journal

It’s official. Just like everything else, once it gets on The Wall Street Journal, it gotta be real! Here’s a part of the article from The Wall Street Journal:

Research In Motion Ltd. plans to introduce a touch-screen version of its BlackBerry device, according to people familiar with the matter, answering the challenge posed by the popularity of Apple Inc.’s iPhone. Read the article on The Wall Street Journal.

The bottom line? Just wait everyone, the Blackberry 9500, aka the Blackberry 9500, aka Verizon Thunder (I guess it could be Vodafone Thunder too, since they are getting that in Europe) is on its way! Just to recap, the Blackberry Thunder is supposed to have a touchscreen, just like the iPhone. For more info on the phone as well as the potential picture, you can read our old entries.

Microsoft eyes 40 percent of smartphone market by 2012

Now that’s a bold statement.  Given that the mobile space is so competitive, I am not sure how this is going to happen.  On the other hand, if there’s someone that’s able to pull this off, it would most likely be Microsoft.  Their super deep pockets and manpower is second to none.

Around 118 million smartphones were sold last year, according to market researcher Canalys. Symbian captured 67 percent of the OS market, while Microsoft came in second at 13 percent and RIM took 10 percent.”  Read the whole article here.

And then you have to factor all the other things that are happening: growth of the iPhone, Google and their Android operating system, as well as the fact that Symbian and RIM don’t look like they are going anywhere any time soon.  But who knows, maybe they will surprise us all.
