Thread: RIM has a perfect ARM score of 100...

Quote from the last three paragraphs of an article in the Toronto Sun (Jan 24) regarding Apple's share price slide, sorry but it will not allow me to attach the link:

Apple is the lowest ranked stock among the marquee technology firms in the
United States based on the change in analyst sentiment, or Analysts Revision
Model (ARM), according to StarMine.

Apple’s global ARM score of 10 is well below Google Inc’s 34 and Microsoft
Corp’s 19 out of a possible 100. Nokia and Samsung have scores of 82 and 89,
respectively.

Research in Motion Ltd has a perfect score of 100, according to the model,
which measures analysts’ revision of key indicators such as earnings and revenue
estimates and changes to their ratings.

Thanks for sharing.

LOL!! Looks like the analysts have FINALLY figured out what the BlackBerry faithful and hundreds of developers have known for months, BB10 is the future of mobile computing. iOS is stale, Android is a convoluted security disaster waiting to happen and WP8 is close but no cigar. Over 150 global carriers, including all the major carriers in the US, Canada and the UK will be selling BB10 devices, about 1,600 North American enterprises are actively testing BB10 and RIM has released BES10 for deployment into businesses. Even Samsung with its latest BlackBerry bashing ad has acknowledged BB10 as a threat. It took a while for the analyst to come around but, just like BlackBerry 10, better late than never.

We also have to remember everyone jumps on the bandwagon at launch time. The true test will be the first few months after the initial launch of BB10.

That's true, but remember that RIM hasn't shown its full hand yet. Although the BB10 OS and the BlackBerry Z10 have been heavily leaked for several weeks, the RIM management team has repeatedly stated that there are more surprises to be unveiled on the 30th. If what we've already seen is only part of the package, just imagine what the full blown BlackBerry 10 mobile computing platform has in store for us.

I think that the surprise is Thorsten doing Gangnam Style.

I think that the BBM is going to be one of their biggest surprise.

Remember that RIM submitted three devices to the FCC last year. We've seen the Z10 and the X10, could the third device be the Aristo? We'll find out on the 30th.

Some have speculated that maybe we'll see an updated PlayBook. If you think about it, they have reduced the price of the current PlayBook very low for the quality. Could be selling out inventory to bring in the new.

Lot's of questions and excitement, we'll find out soon enough.

I think it's unlikely we'll see the updated PlayBook on the 30th, it's not necessary at this time. RIM wants to cover all the bases in the mobile space, the 7" PlayBook is already out there in the hands of many users and it's hardware is still among the best despite the fact it was released in 2011. It only requires the BB10 update to surpass all the other tablets on the market in terms of power, speed and multitasking efficiency. The QWERTY X10 will maintain it's grip on the physical keyboard market and the 4.2" Z10 will battle to recapture market share from the iPhone 5. However it's the plus sized Samsung Galaxy S3 that RIM doesn't have an answer for yet, some users will not switch to a smaller form factor no matter how well the devise performs. The 4.7" Aristo will fit that bill perfectly, rounding out RIM's phone and tablet strategy to dominate the mobile computing space.
