Deutsche Bank very positive on iPhone trial, 'no going back' to BlackBerry

[0815]

Seems RIM/Blackberry is in trouble in the enterprise space:

I've recently deployed BlackBerry over the iPhone in my business. There's little enterprise support, at the level we need it. We need a lot more control over our devices - it doesn't help that we don't all live in the same country.

a bit of an overstatement there, RIM is hardly in trouble in the enterprise space

My company still uses Blackberry as it offers way more support for some of the programs that we use.

If I were running blackberry I'd be worried. It's not very hard for Apple to release more enterprise oriented tools for the iPhone (which frankly I'm surprised they haven't done so already). Apple is already king of the consumer market and Blackberry isn't making any inroads anytime soon.

They're beginning to be, though.

From Forrester Research... a Q1 2010 chart of what OS's were supported by 1,000 polled enterprises in North America and Europe.

Interestingly, they also noted that half of the businesses support more than one mobile OS, and a quarter support three or more systems.

No surprise that RIM is at the top, by far. A little surprising is how much Windows Mobile is still supported.
