Iphone at that time was an entertainment device. Not any more...Apple is on a one track pace to collect the business, entertainment and younger generation crowd. THE GENUIS is this...We parents buy a new Iphone guess who gets the used one? The kids...makes a nice Ipod when you pull out the sim !!!!!!!!! All 3 of my kids now have the last generation Iphones ...They lost all interest in their Wii and playstations.. They only want those APPS...WOW movies, apps games all in one!!!! What a fantastic babysitter. So as the younger generation gets hooked on Apple so will the business crowd. Most of My spouses company have dumped their Blackberries and went to apple ! People in line for the IPhone were old Blackberry users going for their first Iphone! Im sure Rimm will come out with some neat~o device to try and complete but Im sure it will be like MSFT's ZUNE! Remember the ZUNE ? LOL <br>One thing I observed is Rimm like many tech companies over flood the market with to many models, to fast..They should focus on 1 spectacular product like Apple does and grow it. On the Rimm call the CEO kept mentioning all these new models coming and it had my head spinning!!! They need to just brand one and leave old technology behind! I think Rimm is done as a high flyer, they sat around way to long and let the competition take over! Once that happens its pretty much BYE BYE! Very hard to make a come back <br>Great blog, thanks for letting me share my view...... I agree with your article totally !

Good stuff. $RIMM did indeed miss the turn – 'savior phone and OS' sounds like $PALM – and look how well that turned out. Good stuff.
