BlackBerry Maker Co-CEOs To Leave RIM

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

The two men who helped turn the smartphone into a device that many people can't live without have stepped aside. Research in Motion is the company behind the BlackBerry and yesterday its co-CEOs resigned.

Research in Motion named one of its chief operating officers as the new CEO. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
