Comments on: RIM Steals Microsoft’s Stolen Apple Designer to Create “New Experience” — VistaBerry Cometh? http://www.imore.com/2009/04/10/rim-steals-microsofts-stolen-apple-designer-create-experience-vistaberry-cometh/ More of everything iPhone and iPad Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:21:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jon Innes http://www.imore.com/2009/04/10/rim-steals-microsofts-stolen-apple-designer-create-experience-vistaberry-cometh/comment-page-1/#comment-55629 Jon Innes Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:19:12 +0000 http://www.theiphoneblog.com/?p=7981#comment-55629 <p>The real challenge Don will face is not the legacy code. It will be the legacy culture. At Apple people get UX is important. Too bad most other companies won't let UX people do what needs to be done to create great products and services. Heck, most of them still don't get what UX is for that matter. They key here is focus and discipline not pixie dust or black turtle neck sweaters.</p> The real challenge Don will face is not the legacy code. It will be the legacy culture.

Let's be realistic. With the iPhone and iPod UI this guy had to OSX to work off of. Going to RIM he's going to be using RIM's Blackberry OS. One is a proven, industrial strength OS based on UNIX and the other is capable and has legacy code going back to 1995. However, the difference is that with Apple he was creating new code and could do whatever he wanted and with RIM he'll have to add new and eliminate the old. The latter is not going to be simple because a lot of the old code is supporting something in the install base.</p> <p>So at some point RIM is likely going to make a Pre-like jump to something new that one set of products will be using. Now the question is do they follow the Palm lead and have some products on the legacy OS at a lower price point and some on the new at a premium price point. Or do they even care because the cash cow is email and messaging?</p> Forget the artist-editor relationship for a second. Let’s be realistic.
