Android, Apple Eat RIM's lunch

Android, Apple Eat RIM Share in Q3, Say Researchers - Mobile and Wireless News & Reviews. New sales figures confirm that Android is growing faster than the other cell makers, and that Android and Apple are taking market share away from RIM. However, RIM won't be going away anytime soon. The FutureLawyer household is a perfect example of why. She Who Someday Will Be Obeyed just switched to a RIM BlackBerry because she hates capacitive touch screens, and longed for her old hard button BlackBerry. She texts 38,000 times a day, so I guess she needs the tactile keyboard. (Okay, I am exaggerating just a little, but not much). The smart phone market speaks the truth of consumerism. There is a customer for every phone and every form factor. So, Apple's monolithic marketing and lack of choice may be fine for some, but there is a whole wide world of consumers out there who want a choice. Go figure. What's YOUR pleasure? There is a smart phone out there with your name on it.
