Gizmodo has a funny article entitled 9 Reasons Why RIM’s CEO Is Totally Delusional.
The article relates 9 choice quotes from RIM CEO Thorsten Heins, who seems to be living on some planet all by himself, while his company dies a horrible death just besides him:
- “Don’t count BlackBerry out.”
- “We believe RIM is a company at the beginning of a transition that we expect will once again change the way people communicate.”
- “As we prepare to launch our new mobile platform, BlackBerry 10, in the first quarter of next year, we expect to empower people as never before. BlackBerry 10 will connect users not just to each other, but to the embedded systems that run constantly in the background of everyday life – from parking meters and car computers to credit card machines and ticket counters.”
- “We are working diligently on BlackBerry 10 in order to provide a compelling experience for our loyal enterprise customers and consumers. While we are in a very competitive and constantly changing market, customers benefit from this competition and continued innovation.”
- “As has been reported, RIM has hired outside advisers to help me and the other members of the executive team think about the business in new ways and to explore a range of alternatives that leverage our core strengths and build on the BlackBerry brand.”
- “In response to our tough quarterly results last week, our employees received thousands of e-mails from around the world from retail customers, carrier partners, developers, family, friends and neighbours expressing their support and loyalty to BlackBerry. They are – like many of us – BlackBerry people by choice.”
- “There’s nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now.”
- “I’m not talking about the company as I, kind of, took it over six months ago. I’m talking about the company (in the) state it’s in right now.”
- “Let’s rock and roll this!”
