ok i guess more fair would be that they lost nearly 42% of their users… which is still terrible.
And yes RIM has been free falling of late. They have really fallen behind in the consumer market but remain relevant cause businesses want them (though some businesses are actually switching to phones like the Droid or even the iphone). Windows mobile is hanging on because it used to be the leader and some apps that businesses need only work on WM, such as at my work where we have a PDA app for our Homecare software. It only works on windows mobile 5 or 6. I have to break it to people almost daily that they cant install it on their iphone or droid…
