RIM succumb to pressure by India and follow the 31st August deadline

RIM remains in the limelight as the drama continues regarding The Blackberry cell phones. RIM succumbed to pressure by the government of India to access its data. Ministries and Govt officials of Saudi Arabia and UAE have clearly declared their intentions about Blackberry’s role in security matters. RIM responded by saying that they will discontinue to provide services to those countries, but in the end they had to succumb to the pressure in order to expand internationally.

India had given the Canadian company an ultimatum that stated if they don’t allow access to their services by 31st August their services will be terminated. This created immense pressure as India is one of the largest markets for cell phones with a population of nearly 1.2 billion.

According to a source RIM has assured that they will find out some solutions for enterprise mail and messenger by next week. The govt will then decide if it works.

The source who gave information on a condition that his name is not mentioned said that the govt will also express its concerns over internet telephony and will discuss these matters with companies like Skype.

It’s not only one company falling under the strict new guidelines; many Indian companies will also face it in order to import cell phones and other equipments.

The government of India has already made leading operators like Bharti Airtel, to abide by strict rules regarding import of equipments.

Chinese manufacturers like ZTE Corp and Huawei Technologies have been banned temporarily, from transporting network equipment because spywares might be embedded.

So not only Blackberry, Skype and Google are facing the same trouble due to India’s concern over cyber security.

The world is going to be stomped with Apple and Android services

As the unlocked iPhone4 from Apple and Android by Google are having a gain of traction in the enterprise market, we should look out at research from data got in Good Technology accordingly.

During a release, this company has commented that since it has begun supporting iOS4 and the Android, businesses are being more eager so that employees put these devices in some use. Good deployed solutions of 1500 in number in the initial half of the year, to support the products in business. It is said by the company that 43% of total deployments of it includes an iPhone from Apple now or Android device from Google.

The chief executive Brain Bogosian in charge of good technology said in a already prepared statement that consumers more strongly than ever are influencing the decision makers of IT on the basis of personal mobility option of themselves. He added to it that devices such as the iPhone or Unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 android phone are now available with high capability in business as well as personal grounds and it caters to the need of IT for a cross-platform solution which is for security of mobility and management and this is greater need than ever.

It is just the other mark that RIM might have had a hard challenge at its hands with the market of enterprise, just as the Commission of Europe has also passed recently in favour of the iPhone from Apple regarding the Blackberry issue as well as the Android devices from Google, HTC. If we combine that thing with the recent potential bans all on the units of BlackBerry and there could be bleak things for RIM.

People of course have been telling that RIM is all ripe now for the yearlong taking to know and continuously it dominated the market of enterprise just for the reason of the security as well as integrated services of it.
