Is RIM being challenged?

Research in Motion has been in the press a lot in regards to their patent fight with NTP recently, but now that that episode is over, analysts are focusing on some new challenges to their market. The best way to show the trend is with the WSJ chart from their article today.

They’ve passed the 5 million subscriber mark overall, but Blackberry users may not be replacing their devices as quickly. Could it be that with all the alternatives on the market now, we could see their dominance in the business world challenged. Probably not, but maybe the NTP challenge shook some people up? I’m sure RIM will respond with some technology, and defend their market share. It might not just be about email anymore.
It’ll be very interesting to see what their next generation of handsets look like in response to the market competition. I’m sure Engadet will keep us informed.
