The RIM BlackBerries vs. HP iPAQ h63009

As you all probably well know the RIM Blackberries are quickly becomming the hottest thing on the PDA/cell phone market. In fact on many PDA news sites there are big predictions about RIM raking over the market.

What is PalmOne and iPAQ to do? Well, like any good business copy the success and ride on on the coat tales of others popularity as long as possible and hope to create the next big thing.

So what has made the RIM Blackberries so successful in such a short time? If you were going to copy what would you do?

Well it seems the the two biggest factors of the Blackberries success is instant email and a keyboard to respond. This is the big draw and unless you have used one you probably don't know how addictive it really is. It is kind of like many of us were before cell phones. I remeber think I don;t need that what would I use it for? However, I wouldn't give my cell phone away for anything now! I use it all the time.

So a keyboard and instant email. Those are the key ingredients.

Well iPAQ has just recently realeased the new iPAQ h6300 to compete with RIM Blackberries. Will this sell as well as the orginal? It has the two key factors a keybnoard and instant push notification email.

Only time can tell if it will be as popular but some of the inital info out does not look super positive. Of course it is early to tell.
