Each has a place and a distinct market. I just hope that RIMM doesn't forget its mission and tries to become all-things-to-all people. Changing their basic mission to compete with Apple in the consumer market could be a big mistake. Having a clearly defined mission and doing it very well is still a winning strategy.

But everything is compared to the iPhone. The iPhone excels in the touch interface. That's about it. That makes it a very good device for a large majority of consumers who have never sniff a real smartphone, since they weren't free with a contract. Nothing wrong with that.
