RE: Next leg UP? yes, sales could be better. there will always be competition. i'm sure Thor is well aware that it will be an uphill battle. as of a few months ago, many didn't think BB would even be in the mix. at the end of the day, BB is really a software co. it remains to be seen how they position themselves in that space. sure, this is risky and could very well turn out to be a gigantic flop, but that's the nature of this business. having said this, when times are tough and the chips are down, big money can be made if you've placed your bet on the right horse.
anyhow, look at the mess AAPL is in now. the newer "new" iPads are on clearance @ 40% off at the Samsung store now https://tinyurl.com/coweltj
