I expect you are wrong about Apple, and unlike RIM, you have no information, so don't blindly speculate.
While it's true that RIM is failing badly, Apple is not.
iPhone and iPod are selling VERY WELL... iPod Touch is SOLD OUT on AMAZON, etc... Number one on 'black friday' etc... It is because of the synergy with iPhone. There are more applications for iPhone than all other so-called 'smart' phones combined. (And more games than for PSP and Nintendo DS, products which were THOUGHT to be mature products have been displaced by Apple's iPhone+iPod Touch is only about 5 MONTHS.
Literally anyone can see the iPhone is a far better device and ANY blackberry, especially the Storm which looks and sounds like a toy compared to an iPhone or an iPod touch (which people are now CALLING (free with Skype) with them over WIFI, something no BB can do.
Also, the Blackberrys don't have an operating system. The iPhones/iPods do, but it's not the kind where you have to RTFM all the time--It's brilliant.
