Ya ok bud.tell that to the people that are nested into there ecosystems.People buy smartphones but they usually stick to what they have and that's IOS and ANDROID and most will not even bother changing.
Some people do that, some people don't. It is foolish to claim it is a universal statement.
Like I said this new BB is 2 years late to the game.Rim as a platform has failed before and will fail again,heck its already a fail before it comes out and you don't have to believe anything I say but its the truth.
Fail is not a noun, I believe the word you were looking for is "failure". If you want to have a rational discussion it's best to not sound like a 12 year old.
Try getting someone that has had an iphone for 3 years and have them switch to an android or windows phone,its not happening!!! and the same goes for most people that have had android for 2-3 years.
A friend of mine had an iPhone and iPhone 3G and just upgraded to a Lumia 920. Another friend of mine that has had a few Android phones is waiting for the X10 (he likes keyboards). Additionally, I see people switch from Android to iOS and vice versa all the time. It really does happen.
ITunes music alone keeps most people on ios and the same goes for android.I have about 600-800 worth of bought legal music in my iTunes acc.Do you think any of my family members want to leave all that and go to the new BB ?
I have music purchased from iTunes, the Amazon store, and Zune. All of my songs work on all of my devices.
Why would a dev code for the new BB when android and ios own the market share? you can port all you want but it will run like crap not coded for its device from the ground up.
1) You can run Android apps with virtually no changes on BB10. Even if BB10 is only going to capture 5% of the market, why wouldn't you do it when it's virtually no effort on your part?
2) Studies have shown that Blackberry users, who tend to be more affluent business people, are far more likely to buy apps than Android users. It's a smaller market, but a market more likely to buy things. Devs like making money.
3) There is something to be said for being first to the market, or being a big fish in a smaller pond. I have apps that are on both Android and Windows Phone, and the download count between the two is actually comparable. Less competition. If you make apps that don't suck, they'll do well on these smaller platforms.
You somehow think over night rimm will have a music and app store like ios and android have? seriously ? lol lets not forget the open platform android has over ios and everyone else.Im sure people will wait days in line for the new BB
The company's name is RIM, you don't say AAPL when referring to Apple do you? They already have a music store, and I don't recall where I said anything you just accused me of, did I? Do not put words in my mouth.
IM sorry I just don't see anyone really switching from ios or android to the new BB
That's fine. You are entitled to your opinion, and I'm not saying BB10 will take off, either - just calling out the ridiculousness of your statement that no one ever switches off of their platform or that there's no room for a 3rd player. That is simply false.
