BlackBerry's demise puts mobile innovation in question

When it comes to chatter about BlackBerry’s fantastic tumble there’s plenty being said about who did what wrong and at what point and why. But this week’s Searchlight looks at the whole sad story from a different angle: that it was inevitable and ultimately doesn’t matter because mobile innovation is dead. Wait a sec, dead? How could it be dead? This is all happening so fast! Exactly, says Wired‘s Marcus Wohlsen. But Searchlight isn’t all sad this week, we’ve also got Google’s well thought out answer to Siri, a self-interest soaked apology to the tech industry, bad BI practices to avoid and more.
