The Can. Business article isn't as negative as suggested in the previous post as it outlines all the things RIM has going for it (including Lazaridis' Academy Award on Feb 27). "Flavor of the minute - Their new gadget--a pager with two-way e-mail--is a breakthrough. Now the CEO tag team at Research in Motion has to turn rave reviews into record results. Do it and they've got the next PalmPilot. Miss the window and they're yesterday's news" BY IAN AUSTEN It covers about 3 pages and includes interesting material and background into how the business got started. Talks about big lead over Motorola, Motorola underestimating the market, Lazaridis' successes in meeting major challenges (e.g. designing tiny wireless modems) etc. Duncan's pessimism (which he admits puts him in a minority) occupies the last three paragraphs.
