RIM, as a phone with email push capabilities on top of scheduling and other functions, is a very attractive value proposition compared to handhelds that lack some capabilities. This is a mature market; beyond PIM, we haven't seen any new function for handhelds bring a really broad return-no new killer app.

Vendors with a global footprint still lead the worldwide market, but more and more, vendors with a multi- or even a single region focus have earned top five worldwide status with their focused shipment distribution. The departure of other worldwide vendors has opened the door for smaller vendors to improve their position within the market. During the course of the year, several smaller vendors remained within striking distance of beating each other for the number four or five position, and even posed a challenge to some of the worldwide vendors.
