Wall Street Agrees: Apples iMessage Will Kill Blackberry
Shares of Research in Motion fell to a four-year low Tuesday as observers weighed-in on the impact of Apples iMessage, the just-announced iOS 5 instant-messaging app that could steal (yet again) RIMs thunder.
Yesterday, shares of the Canadian-based handset maker fell 3 percent, dropping below $37 for the first time since 2007 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Wall Streets similar lack of confidence followed Apples Monday announcement of iMessage, a service included in the tech giants upcoming iOS update that does for iPhones, iPads and iPods what had been the sole preserve for BlackBerry Messenger.
One analyst Tuesday said iMessage is just the latest breach of RIMs once-impenetrable armor. The new service will become one more reason for users to defect from Blackberry in 2012, Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair said.
BlackBerry Messaging is one of the key reasons you see high numbers of teens and college students using the smartphone, he noted. However, Apple has the numbers to reverse that trend.
