Analysts consider the mobile email market
As indicated before, RIM (Research in Motion) is threatened by Good, Microsoft, Nokia etc in this area. There are two surprising things:
* Why hasn't that happened before, considering Microsoft owns the corporate mail server business, and Nokia the mobile phone business?
* Why have users and corporations been so slow adopting mobile e-mail?
It would be sad if Microsoft won the match simply due to RIM leaving the building. Microsoft hasn't done anything (relative to what they could have done) to capture this market so far. Because they don't care or because they don't understand the mobile market? I doubt that they don't care.
BlackBerry's Dominance Threatened
