Tech Talk News: Analysts Say RIM, HTC And Nokia Can’t Rebound
According to Barclays Analysts RIM, Nokia and HTC could all see the end sooner than later like Palm did in the mobile market. Leaving Windows, Android and the iPhone the last ones standing . The Analysts believe that RIM, HTC and Nokia are all doing terrible right now and the chances of all 3 companies rebounding at the same time is more than unlikely. So what these Analysts are saying if your not Samsung or Apple the chances of you moving anything is more than unlikely. HTC has a new M7 device hitting the mobile market next year but the chances of the phone doing anything is slim since smartphone users looking to get new devices are probably waiting on the GS IV or the iPhone 5S.
