When it comes to the enterprise market it was Blackberry that had the market share. It seems that there now might be a shift in that market since the Apple iPhone launched. Apple took the fight to RIM when they first launched the iPhone as they were now able to communicate with clients easier, this has now become even easier with the launch of the 3G version of the iPhone.

When the iPhone 3G was launched a number of business men who were Blackberry users were queuing up for the iPhone 3G, when asked why they wanted the new iPhone they just held up the Blackberry and said that it is damn ugly.

It seems that business people mostly agree that most Blackberry’s are ugly and chunky, many hate the QWERTY keyboard and web browser. They much prefer the iPhone 3G as it is easier for them to communicate with clients.

Apple are not stupid, they know that the iPhone 3G is aimed at taking on Blackberry’s business market. Apple has done this by improving security, e-mail and by allowing third-party software to run on its platform. This challenge will not be taken lightly by Research in Motion; they have a number of new handsets coming onto the market which they hope will take the fight to the iPhone 3G.
