Blackberry CEO Says iPhone Is Outdated
TORONTO (AP) Apples iPhone is outdated, according to the chief executive of BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd.
Thorsten Heins made the comment Thursday on the eve of the much-delayed launch of the new touchscreen BlackBerry in the United States. AT&T begins selling the Z10 touchscreen BlackBerry on Friday, more than six weeks after RIM launched the devices elsewhere.
Heins also told The Associated Press that a new keyboard version of the BlackBerry wont be released in the U.S. until two or three months from now. He previously said it would be eight to 10 weeks, but now hes saying it could be delayed an additional two weeks.
Both the touchscreen and keyboard models are part of RIMs attempt at a comeback after the pioneering brand lost its cachet not long after Apples 2007 release of the iPhone.
Heins said a lack of innovation at Apple has left iPhones user interface outdated. He noted iPhone users have to go in and out of applications and the device doesnt allow for multitasking like the new BlackBerry Z10 does.
