RIM preparing board change

The Vancouver Sun:

Under intense pressure from a group of shareholders, Research In Motion Ltd. is preparing to unveil a corporate shakeup at the beleaguered BlackBerry maker that could see co-founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie relinquish their titles as co-chairmen of the board, sources say.

It’s a start, but it would have been better if it had happened two or three years ago.

  1. Oops, I actually awaited a cool comment on the new AmateurBook promotion ($299 for every model, regardless of storage capacity) – the weirdest discount scheme I have heard of.

    But maybe that was Tweedledee’s and Tweedledum’s final joke.

  2. Hopefully, after they’re removed as co-chairmen of the board, they’ll be removed as co-CEOs of the company as well.

  3. Is it the 1st of April yet?
    Because that sounds like a bad joke.

    I agree with @macgizmo:disqus this is a smoke-and-mirrors move. They remain Co-CEOs and the rest of the board of incompetence keeps their jobs, too.
