I came across an interesting article early this morning and it coincides with the situation in which BlackBerry smartphones and by extension BlackBerry Enterprise Server have faced at law firms during the emergence of the Apple iPhone and to a lesser degree the various Google Android powered smartphones. If you work in the legal field, please add your thoughts after the article.

Clearly the author has no idea what he is talking about. Saying Microsoft is a major player when sales have been in a sharp decline and the PCM sector has been in a slump for years. The mobile side for Microsoft is barely a pimple.

80 million blackberry users. Microsoft would live to have even 10% of that for a user base. Rim has no reason to sell. All these doom and gloom articles are boring.

Lack of facts...

Failed dev relations? Multiple carriers offering pre-orders?

I know quite a few lawyers, both family and friends, and each one of them has a BlackBerry. With all the extremely sensitive info that gets communicated, they refuse to move to any other platform.
