Will the iPhone Eat Blackberry's Business Lunch?

I have little to add to y'alls' (we talks like that in the south) erudite musings.

This has nothing to do with Canada vs YankeeLand (truth be told, I'm happier than a clam when someone asks if I'm Canadian; you Canadians have the plus side of an American accent [women in the UK love it, trust me], can disclaim the last 50 years of US foreign policy AND don't have to turn red from embarrassment when someone tells you the latest "Bush-ism."

This is instead about two companies with vastly different visions and products to back it up. As one of my esteemed co-bloggers noted, RIMM is a one-trick pony; a recent stat I saw indicated that 79% of customers were very satisfied with iPhone vs 54% with the BB...AND the iPhone was Apple's very first effort in the mobile device market. that 25% difference in customer satisfaction should disturb anyone owning RIMM. PALM is likely to belly up in 12 months; how long will RIMM survive without a second product line? One might argue that Apple could lose one of its three (Macs, phones, iPods) products lines tomorrow and still be a viable business. Could RIMM?
