It looks like the bad press surrounding Blackberry maker RIM, thanks to their IP battle with NTP, is starting to sway the market.
For wireless email distributors and competitors to Blackberry are making noises that corporate customers may not be switching to other services yet, but they are starting to look around.
This should benefit most Nokia, Microsoft and Visteo. And it's a battle worth fighting over, for the 6 million users of wireless email today will become 125M in a few years. And rivals such as Nokia and Visteo are touting a future where wirless email will be ubiquitous across most mobile phones, not just specialist devices.
RIM may not lose the battle with NTO, but they may end up losing the war for leadership in the fast growing mobile email market. My bet's on Microsoft or Nokia being the number 1 in the next 5 years.
