美媒评出2012年科技领域十大败笔

Broken Promises Award: BB10

BlackBerry 10 has become somewhat of a punchline in the tech industry, with the release of RIM’s new OS continually delayed at a time when the straggling smartphone-maker should be trying anything to keep up with its Android and iPhone competitors. After a brief demonstration of BlackBerry 10 at BlackBerry World in May, RIM pushed back the operating system’s release until Q1 of 2013, and soon after slashed 5,000 jobs.

Although there are some features in BB10 that look promising, many BlackBerry loyalists have already jumped ship. We'll find out in January if RIM has a shot at a better 2013.

8.“违背诺言”奖：黑莓10

从某种程度上说，黑莓10已经成为科技行业的笑柄。目前，已经落伍的移动通信研究公司应该竭尽全力，追赶竞争对手安卓和iPhone，但这家智能手机制造商却一再推迟发布新操作系统。今年5月在“黑莓世界”简短介绍了“黑莓10”后，该公司将操作系统的发布推迟到2013年第一季度，随后又削减了五千个工作岗位。

尽管黑莓10也有令人期待的新特色，但很多黑莓手机的拥趸已经改用其他手机。我们静待明年1月，看该公司是否将在明年有所起色。
