But just as you wrote, Steve Jobs and Apple are soon to be replaced by a big developers community using the iPhone SDK. And with all due respect to people in Nokia, Samsung or Apple, the handset wars we see today ? are really not that interesting. In the long run it will be the users and developers who will determine who will win the mobile handset war. And as handset vendors (should) think of the users first , I am sure they will move their phones in the right direction, that is, the moving picture direction.

The bigger issues to me are the structural ones around business model and marketing. Job's et al are playing a different level of game than Mike and Jim. We're watching the San Jose Sharks play the Kitchener Rangers. Mark — I think RIM has to play catch-up on the handset, but I expect they can and will do that.

I haven't though. As for Verizon ODI, I would say wait until fall. If the rumored RIM Thunder really does ship on Verizon exclusively and if it is as good as it appears it might be, then ... we might have RIM playing Apple to Verizon's AT&T.

FWIW, it's the way that RIM handles notifications as well in order to conserve power. Up until now, RIM has been the only company to go this route. Stuart – I think push notification is smart.

It's possible someone will create a video app before July 11th, though. There's already an illegal one in existance on the current iPhone. A Randy,
