Research In Motion's Dream Run Comes to an End [View article]
Many of the advantages of Blackberry which people commented on last year has been addressed by iPhone 2.0 for example exchange support etc.
Things which blackberry supporters are now harping on as Blackberry advantages are things like:
- server control for things like push applications in enterprises - Greater encryption - a Keyboard
All the above and other Blackberry advantages Apple can get and implement - IF they wanted to, it'll just take a bit of time like getting 3G and GPS.
BUT blackberry will never be able to get an OS like OsX (a modified version which runs the iPhone). It took Steve and Gang something like 20 years to create (starting from Next OS) which makes the iPhone a much more powerful computer than the other smart phones. Microsoft can't match OsX so PHONE makers don't have a chance and when developers jump on board with the iPhone SDK the Os will be unassailable like Windows had been for many years (even IBM couldn't do it with Os2 after spending billions).
