If you were around back then, you'll remember that some people actually said that a mouse wasn't for business use (just like Blackberry users are saying that a touchscreen isn't useful for business now). MS-DOS was popular back then, but looking back, it was obviously dated technology that would eventually be left in the dust. That's where Blackberry is at right now. They are popular right now (just like MS-DOS was in 1984) but it's old tech. Their UI was originally designed around a pager! And just like IBM tried to update MS-DOS with a GUI shell like TopView, you have Blackberry trying to do the same with the Storm. But underneath, it's still the same old tired OS.

Over the last 18 months the global BB/iPhone ratio is 3/2 (official quarterly reports). But please let your empirical observations continue to be your guide in your analysis.

For every iPhone I see I see 10, maybe 20 BlackBerries and that is not going to change anytime soon.
