It’s earnings call time. RIM had theirs yesterday, and everyone in the world had an opinion on it. Well, you know what? I have an opinion about their opinion. That’s the opening remark in this week’s BBGeekcast. So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (10 min, 52 sec) And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you won’t miss future episodes!

Highlights include:
RIM came in under earnings, and everyone wants to jump on them for it. It’s understandable, though. They’re reeling from a poor 2010, and oftentimes it takes a while for these earnings to catch up to them. But they did grow their subscriber base, which is a plus. Now it’s onto the future. DevCon is just a month away, and RIM has already announced their intentions. That is, we’ll see a massive PlayBook update, which will bring all those native functions we’ve craved. We’ll also get a video store and Android apps. And then there’s the QNX-based smartphone line, which RIM will unveil there. Get the developers on board, and they might have a competitive product on their hands.

PLEASE improve the volume of the podcast episodes. I play podcasts on my Torch 9800 and used to be able to lay it on a table while I work and hear the audio clearly, but for the past 2 episodes since BBGeekcast returned I have had to hold it near my ear to hear. This is getting ridiculous.
