We have heard similar type of statement from another stalwart, haven’t we? RIM’s President & co-CEO, Mike Lazaridis, also resorted to a similar answer when asked about the competition from netbooks.

“I think I can put Netbooks in here [referring to the BlackBerry Storm]. These are Netbooks. They are just smaller.”

Yes, today’s mobile devices are capable of what most netbooks can do, but is it right for cell phone makers to tag them as netbooks?

Full interview, here.

  • Blackberry Storm 3 shows its face
  • RIM introduces Blackberry Storm2 in India
  • Blackberry OS 5.0 now available to Verizon Storm (9530) users
  • RIM patent for hybrid resistive/capacitive touchscreen
