The newest and most significant threat to RIM comes from Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2. The new capabilities available in this service pack include the ability for an organization to "Push" email and scheduling information (actually any information from an exchange account) to a Pocket PC device. Some people speculate that this may be a reason that Palm decided to move to the Windows Mobile OS, but I think that such a major move would require a long decision process and the new Service Pack for Exchange Server was only recently released so this may not be the case.
