Alternatively, the Macalope has considered the possibility that eWeek has a slideshow engine that just randomizes a bunch of images, which its writers are then forced to try to assign some kind of logic to. Because not very much of this list makes any sense.

Another competitor is the RIM BlackBerry Torch. Well, at least that's a phone. Reisinger says:

The iPhone 5 will have trouble competing in the corporate world as long as BlackBerry smartphones, including the Torch, still appeal to IT decision-makers.

OK, sure, there are going to be some IT managers who are going to go down with the RIM ship as its two captains continue to shout nonsensical orders. But the point is that . The Torch might stop a few from bailing, but at best it's only going to slow the exodus, not stop it.

Also putting the iPhone 5's sales at risk according to Reisinger is the BlackBerry PlayBook.
