The latest report from the market research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey suggests that BlackBerry is still the most preferred device among the enterprise customers. The survey collected responses from hundreds of IT decision-makers at enterprises with more than thousand employees, and have additionally found that RIM and its competitors haven’t been particularly successful at pushing smartphone use beyond the executive suite. (What about Nokia NSeries?)
I find it interesting how RIM keeps succeeding on the market, despite the fact that nowadays other smartphones based on Windows Mobile or Symbian OS can do all the things BlackBerrys can. The first mover advantage is certainly something that shouldn’t be underestimated…
Finally, I want to point out that it’s not just RIM’s competitors that are trying hard to get the piece of the enterprise smartphone market — RIM itself is pushing new converged WiFi and GPS-enabled devices to reach users even outside of corporations.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
