He sort-of hints at what will be their biggest challenge: Developer attention.
This is quite a bizarre opinion. BB is doomed because it doesn't start out with an Instagram app that's craved for by 10 year olds?
The most important objective for BB has to be to stop the bleeding of their customer base - the business community.
Why are business customers defecting? Because the BB is usually a work only/no fun business tool that's locked down by the IT department. At most you can load some mp3 of your own. You are also basically always at work, even in your free time. Those are the reasons why I refused to get a company BB.
If BB has truly managed to divide the BB into two parts - a business tool that can be securely locked down by the IT department and a private phone, that allows the installation of private apps - both in the same device, then that's a major innovation.
BTW, a good map and navigation app is far more important for a BB user than some crappy photo app like Instagram.
The review is also quite parochial, as services like Netflix are irrelevant outside of the US.
