@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

• Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

• Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...

Es ist gut, dass die #BV2 endlich auf die Eingabe von rd. 50 DLF-Mitarbeitenden eingeht. Die Bauarbeiten der #NordSüdStadtbahn schreiten voran und eine über zehn Jahre alte Planung von Radwegen in Mittellage #RiM wird ohne Rücksicht auf neuere Erkenntnisse umgesetzt. Für den ADFC hatte ich bereits eine Stellungnahme formuliert.

Auch der @vcdkoeln.bsky.social hat sich dazu geäußert.
