Blackberry-maker Research in Motion (RIM) has said it plans to refocus its business back onto corporate customers.

The announcement came as RIM reported a quarterly loss, as revenues fell due to sharply lower smartphone sales.

The Canadian company made a net loss for the three months to 3 March of $125m (£78m), compared with a profit of $934m a year earlier.

It has lost ground as its traditional business clients have switched staff to iPhones or Android smartphones.

RIM also announced the resignation of former co-chief executive Jim Balsillie.

Chief technology officer David Yacht will also be standing down.

Shipments of Blackberry smartphones in the quarter fell to 11.1 million, down 21% from the previous three-month period.

Makes sense, no? RIM started out making Blackberry handsets for the corporate world. They became cool in the consumer market as a result. Then RIM chased this consumer market to cash in on the cool and, guess what? Blackberry isn't cool anymore! Far worse, it drew attention to how woefully inadequate the Blackberry is as a consumer device in the face of competing devices running Android and iOS.

Stop making handsets for kids and start making great tools for the enterprise. Oh, what? That's what you're going to do? Fine, carry on.
