RIM has not been increasing market share very recently, they have been passed by Apple and Android - see slide 8 here - http://www.scribd.com/doc/42793400/Internet-Trends-Presentation http://www.scribd.com/doc/42793400/Internet-Trends-Presentat... Blackberries do email very well, they are very bandwidth efficient (but the compression may be why the browsing experience is so slow), their BBM avoids insane SMS charges, they have slick hardware like Bold and Flip, they are designed from the ground up for enterprise security and manageability. But the world is going to touch and mobile Web/apps, and RIM is keyboard centric and hard to develop for, with multiple form factors, OS versions and even the pitiful touch Storm. Businesses are starting to adopt iPhones and iPads - RIM is going to have to reinvent themselves fast or face irrelevance.
