Financial problems which convolute the manufacturer of BlackBerry, RIM seems to be still long tails. One
last word to mention that Canadian companies are at risk of losing
money amounting to 1 billion dollars or about Rp 9 trillion.
This figure comes from the decline in value of products that have not been sold and accumulate in storage warehouses.
According
to data compiled by Bloomberg, the value of RIM's stock rose 18 percent
in the first quarter of this year alone, to 1.03 billion U.S. dollars.
On
the other hand, Apple Inc has decreased the value of inventory by 11
percent over the last 3 months because their products sell quickly.
Quite
a lot of RIM customers flocked to the platform migration competitor,
the iPhone and smartphones based on Google-made Android operating
system. The result is already visible in the global market freefall RIM to just 6.4 percent in the first quarter of this year.
Meanwhile, the Android market share increased to 59 percent. As for Apple's IOS platform controls 23 percent of the global market.
RIM
earnings were predicted to be involved declined by 2 percent to 3.64
billion U.S. dollars in the second quarter of this year.
RIM
BlackBerry device 10 is being prepared which will be launched in late
2012 and will become its new flagship, but it also potentially makes
the BlackBerry devices that already exist today increasingly lose
appeal in the eyes of consumers.
It may be a potential user to choose to wait for the new model rather than buy an existing one.
Earlier,
in December last year, RIM faces an inventory decline in market value
of nearly half a billion dollars due to unsold Playbook tablet.
RIM
said that the operational cost savings of 1 billion U.S. dollars will
be made this fiscal year through reducing the number of production
facilities and "corporate efficiency".
