"There are no signs that RIM has the engineering chops on either side of the ball — hardware or software — to compete with where the iPhone is now, let alone where it’s going to be." ⇒

I doubt that statement is true, but RIM certainly hasn't done anything exceptional or revolutionary in ages and ages. I wonder if I know anyone working at RIM now.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
“What’s more important, an email client or a web browser? For most people, and perhaps even most current BlackBerry users, the answer is clearly the web. Many people in fact read their email entirely through the web.”
that is a genuinely erroneous statement. has he never seen a power-email user on a blackberry? they need push and large email storage and would probably never settle for the latencies of trying to do web-based email for any real length of time.

Seriously. I don’t use GMail because I hate using the client — on my iMac. The iPhones email client works well, though I don’t know how it compares to RIMs. It sounds like the enterprise support RIM provides goes above and beyond support for Microsoft exchange. I know the admins here can set password policies etc for all the Blackberrys the company uses.
