How the iPhone Crippled BlackBerry

There’s a nice exert from the book “LOSING THE SIGNAL: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry.” in WSJ today.

Mike Lazaridis was home on his treadmill when he saw the televised report about Apple Inc.’s newest product. Research In Motion’s founder soon forgot about exercise that day in January 2007. There was Steve Jobs on a San Francisco stage waving a small glass object, downloading music, videos and maps from the Internet onto a device he called the iPhone.

Look for the article “The Inside Story of How the iPhone Crippled BlackBerry” from WSJ
