18 Feb 2011

The administrators of coal business Griffin have urged creditors to back a deed of company arrangement as the best way of securing a return – but the timing of one-third of the sale proceeds hinges on the development of a rail export route via Bunbury.

Don’t write BlackBerry smartphones off, says CEO


16 Feb 2011

Jim Balsillie, CEO of Research in Motion, told the BBC that BlackBerry smartphones had experienced 70% growth in the past year and claimed to be the number one mobile phone in the UK.

In fact, recent figures from GfK revealed that BlackBerrys were the most popular smartphone in 2010, outselling even the iPhone and accounting for 28.2% of all smartphone sales last year and 36% of the festive sales.

But Nokia’s boss, Stephen Elop, recently claimed that the smartphone industry was a three-horse-race between Windows, Android and Apple.

Mr Balsillie, according to the BBC, has now answered: “Are people writing us off? We have had huge growth in the last year. I wouldn’t write us off.”

BlackBerry’s development will continue, he added, and a “big transition” will be the introduction of tablets.

Earlier this month Mr Elop admitted that Nokia had fallen “years behind” the rest of the mobile phone market, adding that the company must change or risk “burning flames”.
