It won't be long until you say Blackberry phone and people will say "What?" This company will be a case study in how deep in the sand you can stick your head. You'd think they'd have studied the spectacular downfall of Palm, and prior to that, Iomega, when trying to chart their own course.

#35> To our valued enterprise customers and partners,
MDM (Mobile Device Management), EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) is to the enterprise IT department what saas, paas, Xaas is to Hacker News, industry language.
On a separate note I still have no idea why Oracle/HP/IBM haven't bought them, clearly so much opportunity seeing as Fortune 500 have still not settled on an effective way to manage mobile devices,
- Easily (for Sysadmin vs Employee), - Securely (employee privacy vs corporate security) - Cheaply (BYOD)
BES10 is actually pretty robust and has more features than most of its competitors

#39"MDM vendors are undoubtedly inviting you to webinars and enticing you to switch off your BES." They're trying to tell me an actual human typed that sentence?
"Java applet vendors are undoubtedly inviting you to webinars and enticing you to switch off your HTML-based system"
would you throw up your hands and say that the message failed?
