RIM CEO hints at more touchscreen devices

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - April 16, 2009


Laptop Magazine sat down with RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis and the discussion was revealing. He hints at more touchscreen devices and admits RIM had some growing pains with the BlackBerry Storm.

Highlights:

"
  • Despite claims that the Storm was rushed to market, Lazaridis says the Storm was thoroughly tested. At the same time, he stressed that this was RIM’s first touch product. (There have been reports that a Storm sequel will feature a new touchscreen interface and Wi-Fi, but Lazaridis wouldn’t comment on future devices.)
  • BlackBerry’s push technology is far superior to its competitors (ahem, iPhone), and its software is tailor-made for true multitasking without sacrificing battery life.
  • RIM is working to improve its browser so it can deliver the full Web experience on more devices.
  • BlackBerry App World is working to offer carrier billing, as opposed to just PayPal, but there’s no ETA."
