There is nothing like competition to help drive innovation.  I love using my Blackberry because of its enterprise integration, but I hate the barely functional browser and the complete absence of HTML email support.  Now that Apple and RIM have locked horns, we are on the path to rapid innovation.  Apple will be offering enterprise integration for the iPhone.  RIM claims that the new Bold will have a great browser (no word in the official announcement on HTML email). This is a great time for endusers.  Makes me wish for more competition in some other areas that are still moving at a snail’s pace!
