But I guess security even more than ever will stay an issue. I do not agree many corporations to be ready to give up on controls of the “outside” connected device. I still see BES to have control over most of the corporate (BB) device for a pretty long time. OK, there is Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync, seen more and more on the non-BB devices. But EAS compared to BES is for an IT manager like comparing a quality bike with a quality car. My guess is that we will see “only BB allowed” for a while around, simply because BES just has supports fot their own BB… and EAS may see itself as a corporate and safe email and calendar syncing alternative, it simply lacks to many controls, even for the reasonable demanding corporate IT manager. Unless Notifylink can get out of the caves. Notify Who you say? As a curious and interested software developer, I recently discoverd this one. On the highschool of my daughter they use Notifylink from “Notify Technology” to connect Blackberries, iPones, Palms and WM devices to MeetingMaker. While it seems mostly to be seen as one (the sole?) BES alternative for those institutions who haven’t choosen for Exchange or Lotus, but for MeetingMaker, Beehive, Mirapoint, Sun JCS, Scalix, or some other Kerio, it’s a product that can serve as the only device-mix alternative for BES as well. While BES just serves their own BB devices, Notifylink say that they can sync BB AND many other as well. Just to name a few: the iPhone, Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian. and it pretends to manage this with the a comparable level of control and security as a BES. If true, it sure is something to take a look at for those IT-managers who have some demands on the table, but still prefer to keep on those demands that they are holding in their own pockets as well. At least for my daughtr it works "pretty cool" for her on an iPhone ....

And Mr. Chambers carries a Flip video camera as his second device instead of iPod. The Smartphone's have a camera. I thought we were integrating devices. Their cable customers are buying Tru2way set tops instead of the duopoly Scientific Atlanta (a CSCO company) and Motorola. Other than Linksys, CSCO isn't a player on the front end IMO I'm sorry, CSCO is a tough sell on their recent decisions. And they are sounding rather old fashioned.
