An open letter to RIM

Friday, 1 July 2011

Let’s start an internal innovation revival with teams focused on what users will love instead of chasing “feature parity” and feature differentiation for no good reason (Adobe Flash being a major example). When was the last time we pushed out a significant new experience or feature that wasn’t already on other platforms?

An anonymous RIM employee calling out all that is wrong with the company’s strategy in an open letter published at BGR. Although intended as a call-to-arms, it honestly reads more like a eulogy.
