Behind because their resources went into the playbook. They chose to wage war in the tablet market which I think was stupid short term. Long term they will get QNX out of it.

Let's be honest here, 00% of the 'oh RIM is in big trouble' articles are because the tech media are so in love with Apple and Google that they can barely bring themselves to acknowledge the existence of other companies....it's all fad driven, and the tech media are extremely juvenile, always searching for the next toy.....
