In the article, iPhone (Apple) vs. Blackberry (RIM): Which Do Consumers Love Most?, Paul Carton reports on a follow-up survey of smartphone users. The original survey, done by ChangeWave Alliance and titled Smart Phone Wars: Apple vs. RIM vs. ...The Android Operating System? showed that the market is led by RIM but Apple is making great strides in capturing more share (Palm is last. *sigh*).

Paul wanted to know what makes the users of the two devices so satisified with their choice. The results? For the Blackberry, it is access to e-mail (56%). For the iPhone, it is the marriage of phone, iPod, and internet browser (36%). Depending on the results of the announced Apple iPhone SDK, and the work that IBM and Microsoft are doing to extend their messaging platforms to the iPhone, I would expect that the iPhone would continue to see upticks in satisfied users.

And the rest of the players?

But the bottom line in this horse race is Apple and Research In Motion are both giant winners. The rest of the smart phone manufacturers lose.
