That's a tad optimistic, no? Pretty much impossible, unless you expect them to reinvent two or three multi billion dollar markets in the coming decade.
I'm ex-Waterloo too and remember Mike Lazaridis showing me the first model of BlackBerry in my entrepreneurship class 13 years ago. It was a fantastic time, but sadly long gone.
> In the future, I really think RIM will be competing against Android/Google, rather than Apple.
Considering the huge penetration the iPad has had in the enterprise, they'd better be competing with both. Underestimating Apple has got them to where they are now.
