Apples needs to take a page out of RIM’s book…

Weather the storm…but more importantly, do not follow RIM’s footsteps and prematurely release your next product unfinished. Do that and they won’t get annihilated like RIM has to the point where they’re facing a DO or DIE situation.

With RIM, they talked like nothing was going to change and their product was better than the competition. Heck, their CEOs even downplayed apps. That was their failure.

Yup. Lack of innovation killed RIM. Same thing will happen to Apple, if the next iOS and iPhone/iPad are a disappointment. They need to stay a step ahead of the competition, and quite frankly, I think they are falling behind.
