RIM co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis to Step Down

When we think about pulling RIM out of the hole they have dug themselves, one of the first thoughts is to start at the top. RIM’s co-CEO strategy has been questioned very heavily lately and it looks like those questions have been answered. Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis will finally step down and current COO Thorsten Heins will take over as CEO.

RIM has stated that thier current stratgy to move forward with a new OS will remain as planned, but Heins makes sure to point out “It’s going to be continuity, but it’s not going to be a standstill.”

Sprint Getting New Blackberry Phones this Fall

AT&T has always been the carrier known to get the latest Blackberry phones previously, but now Sprint is getting some flagship devices from RIM this fall, the Bold 9930 and the Torch 9850. Both phones will be sporting RIM’s latest iteration of their OS Blackberry 7.

The new Bold is Blackberry’s thinnest smartphone to date coming in at 10.5MM thick and sports the famous physical QWERTY keyboard that most Blackberry owners have been known to love. The newest Torch has the biggest screen that has been on a Blackberry phone to date at 3.7 inches.

These phones processors have been pushed up to 1.2GHZ and have Liquid Graphics Technology for fast and smooth performance and very responsive touchscreen. It sounds like Blackberry is pushing the right way in this new hardware but it is more of the same. Is this what they need paired with Sprint and other carriers to stay prevalent in the game?

Blackberry Playbook to Run Android Apps?

image

According to BGR RIM is looking into implementing the same virtual machine, Dalvik VM, that currently runs Android for use with the Playbook. Technically this means that the Blackberry Playbook as well as other QNX devices may be able to run Android apps! Of course this is all speculation at this point, as RIM has not officially chosen a Java VM yet.

Pretty wild stuff right? What’s next, Nic and I agreeing on virtual media? Vic landing a girl? Android on iPhone….oh wait.
