RIM ataca Apple pentru declaratiile facute ieri

RIM, Research In Motion, producatorii celebrului telefon business BlackBerry “au sarit la gatul” celor de la Apple datorita afirmatiilor referitoare la BlackBerry facute de Steve Jobs in cadrul conferintei de seara trecuta. Steve Jobs a prezentat un video in care este prezentat un BlackBerry Bold 9700 ce pierde semnalul daca este tinut intr-o anumita pozitie. Cei din conducerea RIM acuza Apple ca inventeaza probleme cu la alte smartphone-uri in incercarea de a distrage atentia utilizatorilor de la problemele cu iPhone 4.

“Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM’s customers don’t need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.” – Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie

Sincer sa fiu atitudinea celor de la RIM e perfect justificata, Apple i-a atacat pe ei in mod direct si poate nu ar fi trebuit sa faca acest lucru doar pentru a-si justifica propriile probleme.
