Blackberry still has a large stronghold in the global corporate world, due to their encryption and security measures. But both iOS and Andriod has improved their security to become a viable competitor in this market.
That said, Apple has always been more consumer oriented, instead of an enterprise IT/corporate orientation. Case in point: for a few years, they produced a rack-mounted server (Called Xserve) that many companies needing certalized digital media management could use to manage Apple's XSAN. A couple of years ago, Apple stopped selling its xservers, and instead sell Macs that can double as MAC servers. Clearly a move away from the corporate world.
My company still issues Blackberry devices -- but they have been looking at iPhones and (*Gasp*) Windows phones as alternatives.
Speaking of -- I wonder which type of device will outlast the other: Blackberry or Windows phone...
Sorry for the tangent...
