RIM, others face uphill rivalry with App Store

28.03.2009

Large enterprises, the backbone of the BlackBerry customer base, won't even be very interested in shopping on App World, Entner believes. IT managers in big organizations will buy applications in bulk from the vendor or have software written expressly for them, rather than buying it from an online retail store. However, small businesses may find it useful to pick up a few productivity applications over the phone, he added.

"The smaller the enterprise, the more excited you should get," Entner said.
