Another big customer for RIM is bolting to the iPhone. According to Reuters, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) is moving its 17,600 employees from RIM's BlackBerry to Apple’s iPhone. The agency said that it decided to move away from BlackBerry because RIM’s devices “can no longer meet the mobile technology needs of the agency.”
RIM's CEO, Thorsten Heins, has been out there touting BlackBerry 10. He still believes that the new OS will save the company but it sure seems like he's running out of time. BlackBerry 10 is not expected to be out for another 5 months and Apple is not losing steam. I hope RIM will get it's act together and get BlackBerry 10 out sooner rather than later.
