Research in Motion has admitted that it was the one that orchestrated a flashmob scene at an Apple Store in Sydney, Australia. The scene gained mass attention around the world, as people there were depicted as being part of an anti-Apple protest. Participants held up signs that read "Wake Up." It was originally believed that Samsung might be behind the demonstration, since there is a nuclear war going on between Samsung and Apple.

RIM admits to being the culprit in Apple Store flashmob
RIM’s three key goals for BlackBerry World 2012
The company known as Research in Motion will need to prove themselves substantially this year at their biggest developer event, BlackBerry World, if they hope to keep afloat for long. To do this, they've got a bit of work to do, work that can be summarized in three easy points that are not so easy to make a reality. Let's have a look at what BlackBerry's makers can do to keep what's traditionally been the business end of the mobile world alive.

BlackBerry 10 release set for October
The first BlackBerry 10 device today has been tipped for October, with the first announcement of this new-age device set for as early as August. This information comes from N4BB where they’ve been tipped off that RIM is currently gearing up for their first announcement after July. This goes well with Research in Motion’s CEO Thorsten Heins’ previous statement that the first BB10 device would be appearing in the “later half of 2012.”
RIM seeking bank to weigh financial future
RIM hasn’t been having a great time as of late. The company has rapidly been losing smartphone market share to iOS and Android devices, and their upcoming BlackBerry 10 handsets aren’t expected until later this year. According to Bloomberg, RIM is about to hire a financial advisor in order to discuss options for the company going forward.

Ditch BB10 and rebuild on Windows Phone rants RIM insider
RIM may have no intention of exiting the consumer market, despite its appalling recent quarter, but the consumer market itself looks like it's inescapably drifting away from BlackBerry. CEO Thorsten Heins is still apparently wedded to BlackBerry 10, the company's next-gen OS, suggesting during yesterday's financial release that RIM would consider licensing it out to rivals. However, insiders at the firm are growing increasingly outspoken, with calls that RIM should abandon the platform "experiment" and instead follow Nokia in leaping to Windows Phone and Microsoft's warm embrace.

RIM: Chillax about BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha, we just squashed a PlayBook
RIM may be giving up to 2,000 developers a BlackBerry 10 device at the BlackBerry Jam event in early May, but the company is keen to point out that we shouldn't extrapolate too much from either hardware or software about the next-gen smartphones. In fact, the OS running on the device - dubbed the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha - won't even be true BlackBerry 10, instead "a prototype running a modified version of the PlayBook OS which will help developers design their apps for the BlackBerry 10 smartphone form factor."

RIM’s Blackberry 10 gets new leaked photos
New pictures of what is reported to be Research in Motion's next-generationg Blackberry operating system have surfaced, and they show a platform that looks like a mix of Windows Phone's large home-screen widgets and Android's app selection menu. In other words, it's a Blackberry OS that actually belongs in the 21st century, but the question is whether or not it's too little too late.

RIM to abandon multi-platform BBM and BB10 licensing says analyst
RIM is likely to abandon any ambitions of licensing BlackBerry 10 to rivals and ditch the possibility of a BlackBerry Messenger client for iOS and Android, it's suggested, as the company attempts to leverage its "integrated solution" instead. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek says his company's checks found RIM "will delay and possibly abandon its OS licensing plans," Forbes reports, and that despite having met - and liked - new CEO Thorsten Heins, he believes his near-term strategy is significantly flawed.

BlackBerry 10 Smartphone press photos leaked
The next RIM vision of a BlackBerry smartphone, or Superphone as they’re calling it at the source for this leak, is a fully touch-sensitive candybar-style device. This device comes from CrackBerry and appears to either be code-named London or will be released in London sometime soon. This image also shows off how the device will be thin, will have a single flash and camera on the back, another camera on the front with a sensor or two, and one gigantic display on the front as well.
RIM CEO blasts Android phones as “all the same”
RIM CEO Thorsten Heins may only have been in the big chair since Monday, but the new chief exec is already coming out swinging, blasting Android devices as "all the same" and rejecting suggestions that the struggling Canadian company should be sold off. Asked about persistent recommendations that RIM should ditch its own BlackBerry 10 plans and adopt Android instead, Heins argued to Crackberry that "there is just no room for differentiation because [Android phones] are all the same."

First QWERTY BlackBerry 10 in Dec tips RIM roadmap leak
RIM's first QWERTY BlackBerry 10 handset won't arrive until December, according to the latest leaks from the ailing company, with a further keyboard-toting slider tipped for early 2013. After last week's twin PlayBook tidbits as well as news on new Curves, BGR's sources reckon the BlackBerry London will hit in September, but will be followed in December by a combo touch and QWERTY device running the BlackBerry 10 OS and slotting into the Bold series.

RIM CEO to deliver imminent PlayBook refresh as stock dives
New RIM CEO Thorsten Heins will jump straight into finessing the reworked BlackBerry PlayBook for a launch early this year, ex-CEO Jim Balsillie has confirmed, though the prospect of a refreshed tablet hasn't helped the company's diving share price. Described as "a revamp of the poorly selling PlayBook tablet expected early this year" by the WSJ, the new PlayBook is believed to be the replacement 7-inch "3G+" model tipped in a leaked RIM roadmap earlier this month.
