Corporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
"Thomas: Look, the client side is not Exchange. Exchange fully supports IMAP clients"I know; the client is "Outlook". My point was that IMAP is sufficient. The other features of Exchange seem irrelevant to the end user-- unless you have some insight I don't on that? Reply

Danial Magid - do you need the dial pad to dial something like 1 800 FLOWERS? - if you hold down alt key and put in the letters, it will dial the correct number for you. a nice trick they employed. ReplyCorporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
I have used various models of the Treo, although it was a nice phone with many features, it never forwent rebooting erratically, and failing miserably when asked to perform. I have recently started using the Blackberry (World Edition) and I have never again had a problem, although it does have its flaws too, no dial pad, or at least, I couldn't find it, and keys are too small to use. I have found the IPhone a great tool with the user in mind. The interface is well understood and easy to use. I don't care much for AAPL products, but they merit recognition and I believe once the IPhone targets the corporate world, AAPL will become a serious comptitor to RIMM.Kudos to both companies for enriching our lives with functional products.

On second thought Thomas, please ignore my comment. Old habits are hard to break, sorry about that ReplyCorporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
blackberry is a one trick pony. right now a very good one. but i wouldn't want to go toe to toe against apple on any product since its rebirth. ipod, imac, macbook, iphone, itunes and apple tv are all very very tough. just ask all the apple killers out there.

"With 278 million Exchange and Notes users, and only 12 million BlackBerry subscribers, the corporate smartphone market is still wide open."This sums it up, the corporate market is still under penetrated by a huge margin. There's plenty of business to go around for BOTH to kill it over the next several years.
The high price point on the iPhone will keep massive migration from Blackberry (features aside). Imagine any large enterprise dumping all their Blackberries and spending $399 to replace every device? Seems implausible.
iPhone will sell well in the small and medium business segment where some of RIM's features are less important and the web browsing capability (Safari IS iPhone's true killer app) trumps the necessity of quick, secure, push email, remote wipe, wireless policy control, PBX integration, etc.
We'll see what happens this week, but just Exchange and Lotus notes compatibility isn't a game changer, it's an incremental step for Apple that should have been accomplished from the get-go. If they have more to offer, then great, but just adding more compatibility and trotting Saleforce.com onstage is not going to unseat RIM in the large enterprise segment.
The larger point still is about the first quote above. Add the consumer opportunity for Blackberry and iPhone and both should fare well in the coming years. Reply

IPhone needs to support Exchange push mail or build their own Enterprise server. POP3/IMAP is not acceptable. ReplyCorporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
Thomas: Look, the client side is not Exchange. Exchange fully supports IMAP clients. A company could be running Exchange and it could be 100% invisible to you. Outlook is just one possible client.You keep bashing it but you still don't understand anything about the technology - why? Reply

The pipe dream is about to become reality...realist ReplyCorporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
@TheRealist9: Fortunately for Apple, reliable prognostications so rarely come from those who think "allot" is an adverb. ReplyCorporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
I'd take IMAP over Exchange any day. Open Standard. Better technology. ReplyCorporate-Friendly iPhone Could Challenge BlackBerry - Barron's [view article]
IMAP-POP3 is not a substitution for an ActiveSync or a Blackberry Redirector. MS and RIM would be stupid to give this away.If you where an IT Dept and had to tell your Sales Dept they can choose – 1. Blackberry (BB Redirector) where you get your message to you in less than 30 Seconds or 2. IPhone (IMAP or POP3) you can your messages in 5 minutes. It's pretty simple choice if there is money to be made.
This APPL product will be always be there for the consumer level fodder. Most IT Departments see these as toys and no where near the level of central manageability required to even making them viable alternative. There is allot more to it than fancy web browser.
APPL IPhone in a real corporate environment is a APPL pipe dream.
Sorry APPL try again........ Reply
How Are Apple and RIM Moving Up?; Sandisk's Flash of the Future [view article]
Barta,You forget that there is a plethora of people who don't like the touch. I hate it. I wrote 8 "I apologize" emails after I gave ipods for Christmas one year. iTunes has to be the worst artery cloggin prohgram right behind Norton. The whole experience is fine for the minds that are attracted to such folly. It just happens to be that folly is all it is. Have you seen the overall Market Share of MicroSoft vs. Apple lately? I'm glad to see that apple has kept their little enclave alive, it gives me great fodder for when I feel like picking on someone.
I do hope AAPL continues to plummet relentlessly. There is nothing I would like more than to see the freaks beocme more freakish. The iPhone is a flop. Poorly hatched Ok idea is all it was. Another passe attempt at avant garde.
Just remember, it is kind of gross to be fondling your electronics in public.
Sorry, but you few asked for it. Reply

ShlomiNice comments, but you seem to be ignoring Valuation, is 1999 back?
Why no comments on valuation? There is a difference between a good company, a good product and a Good Stock. Remember Cisco (and many other great companies) in 1999-2000 analysts thought it would double, but instead it dropped 80% and never came back-Bubble Valuation like RIM.
RIM presently has sales of $5 bn, a Valuation of $62 bn, valued at over 12 times annual sales and p/e ratio 58.
Even if sales double (doubtful) to $10 bn and profits double the stock will still be overvalued. Sales for the next Qtr are only projected to increase $200ml, a long way from a double.
