Nice image on NYT. That is pretty much all that is to absorb from this article. The NYT has gone on declare that iPhone is going to knock off the Blackberry (BusinessWeek’s been harping on this for months).
For people who need to be connected to their mails, there is nothing better than BlackBerry. RIM has gone through its ups and downs, and I am impressed how they have continuously improved on their devices.
And RIM is going to innovate. There are rumours of the touchscreen based (iPhone) Apple Killer phone that will take the wind out of iPhone. We have already seen such devices from other makers, so why will RIM not be able to do that.
Today, it is easy to copy designs, and the first moved advantage lasts only for about a year. While iPhone has its advantages, BlackBerry has its own. There will be some wins, some losses, but overall I have strong suspicions that NYT’s predictions (or fears) will be even close.
It’s going to be fun to watch the “Smartphone” battlefield though. Who will win? What do you think?
