RE: IPhone X is coming Welcome to 2015.. Marketing is key, not value.
This is what I knew would happen when Jobs died.
This happened to Pear back when they fired Jobs.
The bean counters and marketing think its their company. And they really stifle innovation because they believe it is just man hours. They don't understand the long shot or have a feeling for which long shots will work out.
All they have left is customer loyalty and the solidarity of the interface. If more of what pear is doing with customer information gets out their users will flee.
But, what is mostly keeping pear in business? There is no real competition. You either get pear OS or you get Boogle. Both are in bed with the govern-cement.
BB is great, but, in my eyes they are only a tenth of the way there. I am waiting for a unix based phone. And then I hope for some really security.
Yea, it really sucks pear lost its drive to be more than what it currently is. Surely there must be some wise folk still in the lab, hopefully they give more duties than coffee runs.
Bb is great for me now. I do miss some of the functions from my Sony i had before. However bb is selling their tech to be used in any Android phone. I think HTC is using bb security in one of there models now.
If Unix based start coming out i'd give it try.
