The Rise and Fall of the BlackBerry: A Tale of Addiction and E-Waste.
TL;DR Summary
Research In Motion's BlackBerry, the world's first truly smart phone, revolutionized the tech world and controlled 50% of the US smartphone market before being overtaken by Apple's iPhone in 2007. BlackBerry's business-forward strategy paid off at first, but the company struggled to innovate and keep up with the market. The BlackBerry Storm, a hastily-released iPhone wannabe, was notoriously defective and hard to operate. Today, stock in BlackBerry's parent company goes for about $5 a share.
