It looks like Apple is going to succeed in the enterprise market, with the iPhone becoming more of a business tool than has been the case thus far.

It looks like years of falling behind the curve, among other mistakes, have cost RIM their place at the top in those 2 markets. We've already seen the U.S. government drop their aging BlackBerries in favor of iPhones, and now it looks like Apple is prepared to move onto the enterprise space...
