For months Research In Motion (RIM), the Canadian maker of Blackberry smart-phones, has seemed incapable of getting anything right. Its Playbook tablet went on sale without e-mail (unless attached to a Blackberry). Its network was blacked out for days with scarcely a word from the company. It has been slow to upgrade Blackberry's operating system. Investors squealed as the share price fell by 70% in ten months. Canadians are now worried they might lose a second technology champion within a few years. Ever louder calls for a change in leadership were answered on January 22nd, when RIM's joint chief executives and chairmen, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, stepped down. Investors doubt the new chief executive, Thorsten Heins, a former chief operating officer, will stop the rot. On January 23rd the share price fell by 9%. Perhaps that is because RIM sees little rot to stop.
