Blackberry’s Future | Monday Note

Closing paragraphs of a stark Jean-Louis Gassée Blackberry reality check

"This isn’t a brightly optimistic picture. Today, Blackberry finds itself caught between Samsung and Apple at the high end, and a rabidly fermenting crowd of Android (official or not) clones at the lower price range.

The answer is probably the same as it is for Nokia: It’s too late."

p.s. the post also notes that the Playbook is dead again
