If your company relies on BlackBerry mobile devices, it’s time to head for the lifeboats. I don’t have a crystal ball, so I can’t say with any certainty what RIM’s fate holds in store. But, it doesn’t take any supernatural ability to see that the company is floundering…badly.

When I went to the BlackBerry World Conference in Orlando at the beginning of May, RIM seemed upbeat. Thorsten Heins appeared to have gotten past his initial delusion of staying the course, and all hopes were pinned on the revolutionary BlackBerry 10 platform.
