I don't understand why they think they need to respond at all. And then they are not even responding to all the points. They just repeat their mantra that they knew what they are doing at it will all be good soon.

seriously. they were better off remaining silent. all they've done with this rash response is sound even more like they have no idea what they're doing.
And they didn't like how the author of that letter was anonymous? Seems to be company policy. No faces.
So basically they're saying they're taking a break from innovating and will spend a little while just cleaning up shop. Do they not realize they can't just rest on their laurels while the rest of the industry leaves them behind? Take a look at Nokia!
$3B in cash = RIM will acquire its way back into the game...or into a new game.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It didn't sound like that to me. Could you elaborate on how it is rash?
> ...it is particularly difficult to believe that a “high level employee” in good standing with the company would choose to anonymously publish a letter on the web rather than engage their fellow executives in a constructive manner, but regardless of whether the letter is real, fake, exaggerated or written with ulterior motivations...
That seems like a petty way to respond publicly. Especially in juxtaposition with the first letter, which was frank but polite.
I get the feeling the entire first paragraph is a bit of an attack on the author of the original letter, rather than addressing the problems.
Really? I thought they made it very clear that they were taking a jab at the author, or presumed author, since it's not at all clear that the letter is from a real "high level" RIM employee.
Gotta love how there's no author of the blog post. Just signed "Research In Motion". And "Filed in: News." And they didn't like how the author of that letter was anonymous? Seems to be company policy. No faces.
RIM has $3 Billion in cash? I guess I'm not that surprised, but that's quite a bit of "help us get back on our feet money." With some clear direction (which they may or may not get from their current executives) they could definitely regain some of their previous market. The more competition the better, and having another player in the mobile space can only improve things for the consumer (and the enterprise).
