I've always believed that RIM's decision to implement email and other services in this way was a very poor choice that at some point would blow up in their faces. My evil half would say that is was a marketer's rather than an engineer's decision. It's one thing when you are basically the only game in town (as RIM was a few years ago), now it's a completely different scenario. RIM already faces a complicated playground. More high-profile incidents like this one and suddenly people start losing confidence in the service... one thing leads to another... then suddenly you're target for acquisition by a huge corporation. Then things look up again but exactly one year later that huge corporation buries everything you did and you're a page in a history book :-) Good luck to them, Carlos On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:50 PM, Joe Abley <jabley () hopcount ca> wrote:

Messaging services that use the core as a simple transport and shift the processing intelligence to the edge have different, less-dramatic failure modes.
