BlackBerry developers are not scared of Apple iPhone

Research in Motion co-chief executive Jim Balsillie has said that the recent showing of the Apple iPhone device does not pose any significant threat to their business operations.

He said: “It’s kind of one more entrant into an already very busy space with lots of choice for consumers. But in terms of a sort of a sea-change for BlackBerry, I would think that’s overstating it.”

He was talking at the launch of their slimmest BlackBerry model yet in the market, the 8800. This blackberry device features a full-keyboard device equipped for the first time with a built-in global positioning system.

He spoke about the 8800 model: “It’s definitely the thinnest BlackBerry yet … and definitely the premium product for the broad audience of mobile professionals.”
