As for RIM competing directly with Apple that would also take place in that exact userspace. The corporate clients can't activate Apple Inc products on their BES infrastructure so they won't be playing Assassin's Creed nor downloading fart applications to their corporate issued handsets anytime soon.

You think that's going to stop companies from using the ActiveSync in Exchange to hook up their iPhone employees?
You forget it costs companies $100 per user to operate BES, were chances are they have already paid for the licensing with Microsoft for Exchange; they will start to wonder why they should have to pay twice.
Current companies using BES may still switch to iPhone's if it's true about the economy and they start to hire more people.
