Struggles to get back in the black


Research in Motion is planning to cut as many as 2,000 jobs worldwide as part of its restructuring effort.

The maker of Blackberry phones has seen better days, as it is struggling to compete with iOS and Android. The move comes as no surprise, as RIM already announced plans to streamline operations and save up to $1 billion this financial year.
