There was major issues with it and the hardware companies didn’t want to get sued themselves! Blackberry Connect first came out in 2004, which would of gave RIM 2-3 years to promote their technology before any real threat came along, see Microsoft.

If Blackberry Connect fails, you can totally blame it on RIM not settling with NTP sooner.

They are free to support or not support which ever items they choose. This is a big issue for Enterprise IT shops where mandatory IT Policies are one of the major reasons RIM is the market leader in this field
