Google's Android Overtaking BlackBerry and iPhone
Android and iPhone are eating into both Microsoft and RIM
While Android phones sold faster than iPhones in the second quarter of 2010, iPhones sales are severely handicapped by single-vendor sales; Android phones are available on all major carriers in the US, making direct comparisons difficult and leaving a whole lot of marketing ahead of Android.
However, what isn’t difficult to see is that once users experience either Android or iOS, it becomes mighty difficult to go back to the BlackBerry.
Of course, many businesses have built expensive communications infrastructure around BlackBerry Enterprise Server, making other phones a tough sell to these companies. Ultimately, though, user demand and compelling features will drive business devision-making. In smaller businesses, where BES is far less likely to be deployed, there aren’t many reasons to stick with RIM’s products when Android and iOS devices do so much more, so much better.
