On a greater scale this is the clash of 'Western', as in US/Europe, and East-Asian mindsets and culture. If you look into other areas like pharma, the same battles are being fought, with India and China essentially ignoring 'our' patent law

"enterprise" no longer exists. that's what is killing RIM, that's why they are trying to woo consumers. Users rule now, and users are consumers. They don't want to carry two devices, one for home, one for work. The home one being technicall
