At least a temporary one.

I know I am a bit late to the party on this one, since the news came through this morning. In the final analysis, no matter what the decision, RIM may be soon facing deeper challenges than the ones they are facing in court.

It is somewhat ironic that Microsoft, who has faced their own legal challenges in recent years, seems to be taking the most aggressive role in redefining the mobile landscape, especially with their new smartphone partnership with Palm.

Whatever happens, it can be certain that it will be good for consumer and business users who have made RIM the success that they are.

I believe that RIM probably made a mistake by letting this thing drag out as long as they have. During that time, not only has doubt and uncertainty spread amongst their core user base, but Palm and others have made inroads in providing similar services and alternatives.
