2. It actually came to a point where it seemed like Research In Motion was finally
getting itself back in the running. At last May BlackBerry World 2012 convention, the
BlackBerry 10 gave a rather impressive showing, giving hope to consumers who
were about ready to resign andsell used electronics specifically their BlackBerrys in
anticipation of the company’s demise. RIM CEO ThorsteinHeins has gone on record
countless times saying that the company had pulled out all the stops to ensure that
the BB 10 would be their saving grace, and the mobile OS definitely showed that
potential at the event.
Fast forward just a month later, though, and RIM is now looking at last resort
decisions with split-and-merger options, even going so far as to consider licensing
off their much vaunted secure messaging technology to third-party companies just
to try and stay afloat. Going back to square one was brought about by Apple’s
own tech demo event; and the part of me that roots for the Davids
notwithstanding, I have to say that Apple truly deserves all the accolades (and
market share) that it gets.
At the recently concluded World Wide Developers Convention 2012, Apple
unveiled their own mobile operating system that resoundingly trumps the BlackBerry
10, possibly prompting even the most stalwart Berry aficionados to finally consider

3. trading in BlackBerrys for iPhones. Apple’s iOS 6 makes a strong case of portable
gadgets becoming even more relevant than ever by extending its functionality
beyond even the physical limitations of the gadgets the OS is housed in.
Two of the most noteworthy features of theiOS 6 are the new Maps app and the
much improved Siri. With Maps, Apple ups the ante for navigation programs by
implementing two key features that are sure to become program standards in the
years to come. The first one is the “turn-by-turn” function, which makes the
onscreen map turn relative to the direction a user is facing, eliminating the need to
constantly reorient one’s “inner compass” every now and again. The second is the
Flyover mode, which is a 3D rendering of a city where a user can manipulate the
camera every which way to get the most detailed view of a desired destination.
More impressive is the new and improved Siri. Aside from the expected increase in
accent and language recognition, she has also expanded her virtual assistant role
by assimilating herself further with the iGadgets’ many apps. Moreover, Apple has
plans to integrate their iDevices with car systems to give drivers the so-called “eyes-
free” assistance via Siri. That is, Siri will be handling everything a driver needs help
with, whether it’s in navigating an area, checking the statuses of a car’s parts, or

4. composing an email. And of course, the driver can always talk with Siri during those
long boring drives.
It is forward thinking like this that consistently puts Apple on top. If RIM hopes to see
a resurgence anytime soon and put a stop to consumers selling used BlackBerrys for
something better, it had better start taking notes from the competition.
