What gives you the impression that they ever consider themselves safe in the enterprise market though, while they keep taking steps further into the consumer end of the market, they do continue to improve features for the business market too e.g. the new version of their server software has only recently come out.

It is quite strange to see the way people are so quick to write off rim's future chances whenever anyone else comes near the same markets as them, the same thing happened with windows mobile when that came out and look at it now, rim is still the target of others and winmo is the one thats practically on life support as android eats into its sales.

Now obviously, nothing is certain in any industry, but I think most reasonable people would say that rim have shown in the past that they can adjust to changes in the market and judging by them buying a company that specialises in webkit stuff and their continuing efforts with their own app store, they do know what stuff they have to improve on and are doing so.
