Who needs it to cook bacon? BB10 will be the sexiest thing you ever saw that will be able to cook anything you want...even android apps 🤣

Seriously, RIM isn't dead. They have been growing the entire time people have been saying that though.

If RIM can make it back from the brink of death then its the comeback of the century or they could just be holding off the inevitable with all this BB10 talk every so often.

I get so tired of people exaggerating how bad things are for RIM.....RIM is NOWHERE NEAR 'the brink of death'......with the cash reserves, they could sustain losses for at least another 5 years without going bankrupt, their revenues and subscriber base are increasing, and they have not lost any of their major app developers like Jared, Skylab Mobilesystems or S4BB, indeed these companies are INCREASING their commitment to the Blackberry platform, and even many Apple and Android developers are starting to make Blackberry apps, which is why you can now get Angry Birds for the Playbook, and a Flixster app was just introduced and both Major League Baseball and the NFL now have official apps...and polls show that currently Blackberry users are ve...
