RIM to Support Apple and Android Phones

In a tactical ploy to increase their market share and point out the flaws in Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS systems, Blackberry makers RIM have announced that it will offering businesses security management tools to supports its rival OS’s as well as its own.

Spectators say that the increased usage of non-Blackberry phones in business environments has forced Blackberry into accommodating rival smart phones in its BlackBerry Enterprise Server rather than loosing business to third parties such as Zenprise which manages all OS’s.

One executive for a pharmaceutical company boasting the use of around 15,000 Blackberry’s thinks the move could benefit Blackberry, saying “by extending support to other devices, RIM will expose the limitations of some of the other platforms.”

Many are seeing the move as Blackberry finally accepting its dwindling presence in the Smartphone market but reiterate that the move can only be a good move for the company.
