But RIM (RIMM) says "exceptional" response to its new gadgets led to record subscriber growth at the end of the quarter./p ul liRIM says Q3 sales will fall between $2.75-$2.78 billion, below consensus of $2.96 billion and about 9% below its forecasted range of $2.95-$3.10 billion./li liRIM says it added 2.6 million net new subscribers during the quarter, 10% below its forecast of 2.9 million./li liWhy? Later than anticipated product launches, the lousy economy, and unfavorable currency trends./li /ul pBut, on the plus side, RIM says its new Bold and Storm smartphones are seeing an "exceptional" response:/p p style="padding-left: 30px;"Daily net subscriber account additions reached a record level on the day the BlackBerry Storm launched in the United States and RIM achieved a record number of weekly net subscriber account additions during the last week of the third quarter. The strong demand for new products has continued into Q4 and RIM is working closely with its partners to deliver sufficient product to take advantage of the growth opportunity in Q4 and beyond./p pThe touchscreen BlackBerry Storm is still backordered at Verizon Wireless. It'll be crucial for RIM to meet demand there in the next few weeks or it could lose potential buyers to Apple's (AAPL) iPhone -- which would be bad news for Verizon (VZ)./p pRIM's after-hours charts haven't updated on Google or Yahoo, but we wouldn't be surprised to see its stock open lower Wednesday. Investors have been preparing for bad news from RIM, but its Q3 revenue will come in below even the Street's most pessimistic analyst./p pNext update will be Dec. 18, when the company posts final Q3 results and gives Q4 guidance./p pstrongSee Also:/strongbr /a href="../../2008/11/rim-blackberry-storm-review"RIM's BlackBerry Storm Is No iPhone, But Should Sell Well/abr /a href="../../2008/12/blackberry-storm-update"BlackBerry Storm Update On The Way?

Voilà une nouvelle à laquelle je ne m’attendais absolument pas en consultant mes flux dans mon Google Reader tout à l’heure ! Leah Culver et Mike Malone nous apprennent que Pownce ferme le célèbre service de microblogging dont la technologie intégrera officiellement dès le 15 décembre la compagnie SixApart connue du grand public pour ses plates-formes de blogging MovableType, TypePad et Vox Leah Culver et Mike Malone nous apprennent également qu’ils vont travailler comme ingénieurs pour SixApart ... En tout cas, c’est une bien triste nouvelle d’autant plus que je suis un early-adopter de ce service invité par mon ami Eric de NetWizz Jungle Blog lors de son lancement ! ...

The application is a full SMS clientmdash;at the moment it requires a download but in the future, it plans to become integrated in the SMS platform. Zlangorsquo;s business model relies on licensing deals with carriers and mobile operators, and on partnership with media companies, merchandising and branding, and ad revenue. Zlengo is also considering a flat monthly fee for the use of its applicationmdash;similarly to a flat caller ID or other features landline phone carriers have been offering. The company has deals with carriers in Israel and Europe and has been in advanced discussion with additional players in the mobile manufacturer and carrier industry./p pA natural audience for Zlango is the tween and teen market who, for about $1 price point would find this a highly compelling way to communicate with their friends. Asia is a great fit for that. In addition to its existing icon-based language (I have in my hands the 10 commandments in Zlangauge), Zlango is also built for user-generated content: users can create their own icons and avatars or even their own secret community language. /p pThe greatest challenge Zlango is facing is choosing a starting point from the many opportunities it has. A solid market entry strategy while maintaining its long term vision, is going to be key.
