This has me musing upon the Blackberry outages. I've read that govts hate Blackberry because it is inherently harder to intercept. I wonder if their accidental outages had any help? A few outages might convince folks to give up the platform.

My “employer” gives us blackberry’s for that very reason I am told....... even though COMSEC & common sense is still a given in its daily use.

I’m a big fan of the Blackberry Enterprise platform. They really have their security nailed. From an Enterprise point of view, nobody yet does it better.

But RIM needs to get their act together, and quick. They’re totally sucking air in the consumer market. The iPhone is eating their lunch. iPhones still have some security concerns, but as soon as there is a good management tool to handle enterprise MS Exchange integration and central policy control over devices... RIM is in trouble.

They need a new device that hits the iPhone where it hurts, or they’re done.
