RIM has been in shambles for awhile. Android and Apple are about a step and a half ahead of RIM, and are continually gaining ground. They need to get their stuff together pretty quick and change the game.

Not so much a hearty laugh as a knowing grimace. RIM is falling apart because they have failed to innovate. They're relying on the laurels of security and enterprise communication solutions, and need to change the business model to meet that.
It's no longer about hardware for RIM. It's about leveraging the software they've created to sell and license. The longer they continue to try to develop hardware, the longer the death spiral.
Mobile became all about apps. RIM didn't make it easy to make apps. Now the platform is dying, and they're scrambling to meet existing tech.
