Obviously the entire article is fluff, but there's one thing that sticks out as just wrong:
"No one who buys BlackBerry products actually cares about the BlackBerry OS."
Has this guy ever talked to a Blackberry owner? They seem to be some of the most loyal cell phone owners around. Everyone talks about switching to an iPhone or whatever, but (from the article):
"RIM is still selling plenty of BlackBerry devices -- thanks to international expansion and big sales at carriers."
I believe this article had the basis that the reality of the market is changing. So while Blackberry may have some passionate users now, the gap in quality of their software compared to android/ios is going to keep widening.
Basically they either need to get their software up to speed or move to android.
BlackBerry loyalty seems to have changed if Nielsen's data is anything to go by. According to recent figures, only 42% of BlackBerry owners want a new BlackBerry as their next mobile device. In comparison, 72% of Android users want to stick with Android, and iPhone users seem to be most loyal with 89% wanting a new iPhone.
