RIMs Latest Apple Apps Won't Catch on Well: Here's Why

Wow! This is one of the funniest posts I have ever read. RIM has lost to microsoft is a hilarious statement. The actual numbers just don't bear this out. Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. There are a number of cheap hosted blackberry services that require zero investment upfront. To actually believe that activesync protocol is better than BES is telling. And the statement about BIS and "lack of history" is laughable. They've been at it for a number of years on BIS and it has been very reliable over time. I think you might want to substitute "novi" with "jer". please tell me you don't actually believe what you wrote below.

They can do whatever they want? You mean for no reason transfer money from your checking account to their own account? That is total BS and you know it. They can't just steal money from you if you sign up with them. I have had a paypal account for years and never had one problem. Are you sure you didn't sign up with Paypull? The knock off, scam service? Sometimes I wonder about folks on this site.

apple fanatics out in full force as usual. this article is a bad joke that tells me nothing. the double standard that iphanatics apply is hilarious. it's ok for apple to start slow and then evolve their products/platform, but not their competitors. you really think rim has no plans to offer credit card payments or carrier channel payments? let it evolve. in the end the appstore thing will not be THE differentiator anyway for the masses - it's just on epiece of a larger puzzle you have to have to compete as a smartphone platform.
