I suspect it is too late for BB in the US market. They pulled a Palm and sat on their backsides too long and were not able to get a new OS out in time to save themselves. WebOS never made it to the Palm devices. Just a few years ago BB ruled the corporate and government markets because they were so secure, among other reasons. But now they have been mostly replaced by iPhones in those markets and there is no way in heck the new BB will compete in the consumer arena. They are too late to the game with very few apps. Soon there will be another tombstone next to Palm's in the tech cemetery.
