In the wake of plummeting share prices, revenue, and a long and costly patent lawsuit from NTP, Research In Motion (RIM) created a Youtube video thanking the developers they had previously partnered with for their longstanding loyalty. With Apple and Android platforms crushing the mobile market right now, you can't help but feel a little sad watching this video. Having your VP of developer relations making a video essentially telling customers to "stay tuned" and "keep being optimistic" doesn't exactly mean the company is doing too well...

In fairness to Apple, they went with a design that worked and stuck with it. Why change something millions of people are already willing to pay for?

Wheeeee, so fun.

An hero moment indeed.
