Episode 1 Show Notes
Description:
For the inaugural episode of This, Jon discusses RIM’s announcement of the refreshed BlackBerry 10 platform and the $300 million deal between Barnes & Noble and Microsoft. Please stand by.
Show Notes:
- The title of this episode is allusion to RIM’s recent “Wake Up” advertising campaign in Austraila, which I forgot to mention.
- Source regarding BlackBerry losing top spot to iPhone in RIM’s home country of Canada.
- Turns out there’s actually 500,000 apps in Apple’s iOS App Store, as opposed to 100,000. My mistake. Android isn’t far behind at 400,000. Windows Phone is trailing at 50,000.
- The touchscreen BlackBerry I mentioned is indeed the Blackberry Bold 9900/9930.
- Source regarding Palm being worth more than 3Com in 2000.
