Though warning signs have been noted for some time, recent layoffs at RIM seem especially ominous and some commentators wonder whether the Blackberry will remain a viable competitor to Apple and Android-based phones. The poor sales of RIM's Playbook tablet, hyped as a prime competitor to Apple's iPad in the growing enterprise tablet market, only emphasizes RIM's competitive disadvantage.
What does this mean for employers? A diverse array of smartphones equals a more diverse array of security and privacy concerns for companies to confront.
