STEVE JOBS, Apple's chief executive and field general, has Napoleonic dreams of global conquest for his 10-month-old wonder gadget, the iPhone. So it may be fitting that he's encountering his most serious resistance in a city called Waterloo.

That is where, 70 miles west of Toronto in Ontario, 19 nondescript, low-rise office buildings comprise the headquarters of Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry.

I'm not sure the title is pertinent to the article that was written, but I respect the writers right to put it in print. I wonder if the writer has tried either services

I have both, and the iPhone is not an enterprise tool yet. The use of keys still trumps the iPhone's input, and although Jobs wants to change the world, and insist we need no keys"he's wrong. Sometimes just basic common sense works best. The Blackberry is bedrock; the iPhone is fun.

P.S. Before all the Apple zealots start their crusade against my post, I have been an Apple owner and user consistently since 1984. I know a thing or two about Apple and how it works.

Did you mean "fend off"?

I could edit huffpost or a small fee.

Seriously.

The head reads: "BlackBerry's Quest: Fend Of The iPhone"

That could either mean:
"BlackBerry's Quest: Fiend Of The iPhone"
or
"BlackBerry's Quest: Fend Off The iPhone"
