(Squidoo) When word of the iPhone first got out, it seemed as though Apple was going to take over the cellphone market, in a similar way as iPod swept over the MP3 player market. But Blackberry refused to stay behind all the brouhaha surrounding the iPhone, and so far, they have perfectly held their own against the iPhone.
What we're seeing this year is reminiscent of the old duel between PC's and Mac's, IBM vs. Macintosh, just with cellphones. We have fellow BBsers and Apple enthusiasts. Who would have thought it, huh?
On this year that begins, we could see a resurgence of interest in the iPhone, if a new, completely different version comes out. I can see how people would prefer this device over the BB, since they feel that BBs are just too rough or coarse when it comes to user interface.We shall wait and see...-- Guitar Hero and Star Wars themes for BlackBerry --
Apple is relatively silent while Blackberry keeps getting out new models to the market. However, other brands like Samsung, LG and Motorola are holding their own too. Even Samsung got sued by Apple for the similarities between the 'Galaxy' models to the iPhone.
But this is only the beginning! Brian Wallace, the marketing director of RIM technologies and a key piece on Blackberry's success, left the company to work for Samsung!
Is now the duel between Apple and Samsung?! Will the seemingly transparent iPhone 5G sweep over the market?
Do you think it's fair to compare iPhone and Blackberry?
