Security. Apple and Google are no where near Blackberry security. The US gov't just approved the playbook last week for use, due to strong enough security. This is the one thing RIM wins hands down right now.

I can tell you a story about a networking company that had this advantage 20 years ago. Very similar story. You probably haven't heard of Novell, since everyone uses Windows Networking now. In 10 years, I can see RIM in the same spot. Google will figure out security, just like MSFT did, and bye bye RIM.
