… and most are almost always wrong.
A friend sent me an email a few hours ago with the following subject: “stupid analysis.” Thankfully he wasn’t referring to me but to someone referenced in this article over at Electronista.
The claim which seems to upset people is the following…
“BlackBerry could be a loser in the upcoming smartphone apps war,” Wolf says. “Software companies are increasingly focusing their development efforts on the iPhone and Android.”
At this moment I consider this a ridiculous assertion which is clouded by hype and perhaps a lack of knowledge on what goes on inside enterprise organizations. I see ideas and requests for BlacBerry Applications almost on a daily basis and these will continue for the foreseeable future.
Granted the experience on the BlackBerry App World is not the best, however enterprise rollouts do NOT happen through an app store (not saying that they won’t one day).

Yeah, that’s kind of ridiculous. Granted with our backgrounds we are “RIM biased”, but to say that BlackBerry “could be a loser in the upcoming smartphone apps war” is incredibly far fetched and comes from someone who doesn’t understand the value of the BlackBerry Enterprise infrastructure especially with tools like MDS Studio.
I’d take that with a grain of salt.
