I predicted this several years ago in a discussion with one of our IT managers. At the time, he said that they were looking at buying Blackberry Playbook tablets for senior management. I told him they were crazy, as Blackberry was finished, and they should be preparing to accommmodate iPhones and iPads, since that was what everyone had as personal devices, and no one was going to carry multiple devices.

In the end, I was right, but they bought a bunch of useless Blackberries anyway. It took a long time to snap them out of that Blackberry trance in the enterprise environment.

Just to add....

I also remember the IT guy saying that they had invested too much in a dedicated Blackberry server, to which I laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. The market is going in a completely different direction." It is maddening sometimes how large organizations become fixated on where they have been, rather on where they should be going. It's a little like saying, "We can't get those newfangled horseless carriages, because we've invested too much in wagons and buggy whips."

Apple’s security model is such that I wouldn’t allow another mobile device (i.e. no Android). But would still want some sort of enterprise mobile device management.
