????由于黑莓手機（BlackBerry）制造商RIM公司的業(yè)務(wù)增長較為緩慢，谷歌公司（Google）和蘋果公司(Apple)持續(xù)趕超,，形成了智能手機市場兩家獨大的局面,。如今的RIM正為其在智能手機領(lǐng)域保有一席之地而奮戰(zhàn)。

????一年前,，為了削減成本,， 公司裁員10%，但盡管如此,，上個季度,，RIM甚至連已經(jīng)降級的預(yù)期目標(biāo)都未能實現(xiàn)，甚至出現(xiàn)大規(guī)模虧損,。公司新任CEO托斯滕?海因斯承認(rèn),，公司需要進行“戰(zhàn)略性變革”，變革的形式可能是更大規(guī)模的裁員,，甚至可能出售部分業(yè)務(wù),。

????雖然全新黑莓10操作系統(tǒng)得到了好評，但要到2012年底才能正式上市,。到時,，蘋果公司可能已經(jīng)推出了其下一代iPhone，而谷歌將會更新安卓系統(tǒng)（Android）新版本,。

????BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is struggling to stay relevant as Google and Apple's smartphone duopoly continues to outpace RIM's relatively puny growth.

????Despite laying off 10% of its workforce about a year ago to cut costs, RIM missed its own reduced expectations last quarter and swung to a sizable loss. New CEO Thorsten Heins acknowledged that "substantial change" is needed, which could come in the form of more layoffs -- or even a sale, he conceeded.

????Though the new BlackBerry 10 operating system is getting early positive reviews, it won't be available until the end of 2012. By then, Apple will have released its latest iPhone, and Google will have updated to a new version of Android.
