That's what RIM thought. It's not clear that there's a "business tablet" market separate from the "consumer tablet" market.
Similarly, there was at one point a vibrant "business mobile phone" market as distinct from the "consumer mobile phone" market. That distinction has been erased, killing RIM in the process. The jury is out as to whether there will be a viable business tablet market. My money says no, that at a significantly higher price point than the iPad, business users will continue to buy laptops.

- runako 14y agoI think we agree on that. But this is also, of course, why I posted about the site crashing during the launch in the first place.
- wvenable 14y agoThe distinction still exists in theory it's just that "business mobile phone" started to seriously lag behind "consumer mobile phone". But Apple is not setup for (nor do they seem to care about) the business market. The business market seems like it would be a huge opportunity for Microsoft to bring Apple-like technology to the business side. However, they seem far more interested in chasing Apple and Google in the consumer market.
