THE WAY OF THE DODO.  EXTINCT IN 2012 ?

Jan 30, 2012

1. RIM:  Few can remain king for long in today’s world of musical chairs. Watch out Google, Facebook, and Apple.
2. American Apparel:  Remember Gap in the 1980s? Lose the clarity of your image in the market place and you are toast.
3. T-Mobile: Age of the Goliaths. It’s all about market share and customer service.
4. Tivo: When you can stream everything on to your laptop and handheld, and upload everything to the cloud why Tivo ?
5. Kodak: Digital cameras, then smart phones.  But watch for a reinvention of Kodak around nostalgia. If Vinyl is now re-cool so can Kodachrome.
6. American Airlines: The fickle industry. One minute it’s all about the small and nimble Jet Blues and next it’s the remerger of the fittest.  AA + US Air = American  Air ?
