RIM imposes a six-day work week for employees developing BlackBerry 10
"There’s nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now" – This is what RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said during an interview a few days ago. Yeah, right... In reality, the company has been struggling for the past few years as competition has been pushing its smartphone market share to new lows. Some believe that the upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices might bring the company back to its feet, yet for that to actually happen, the new platform must be finished in a timely manner and executed properly. And you know what, that is exactly what RIM is currently most focused on.
Last week, RIM announced that BlackBerry 10 is being delayed and won't be out before Q1 of 2013. Some of the smartphones that RIM is working on leaked not long ago: the touchscreen-equipped L series and the more traditional, QWERTY-packing N series. This is shaping up to be RIM's last attempt to pick up pace in the smartphone race, and if it fails, a takeover won't be out of the question.
