Twitter’s popularity and the marketing campaign that RIM puts behind their native Twitter client will generate a lot of buzz. What is really important RIM is the opportunity to showcase what BIS can do and the kind of applications that can be built on the BlackBerry platform.

You guys are comparing this to Facebook and MySpace. Trust me… It will be much more…

Mobile phone users generally are pretty fickle consumers and the smallest things keep them loyal to a brand or send them packing to another device.Just look at the number of BlackBerry users that stay BlackBerry users because of BlackBerry Messenger. Facebook is hugely popular and I am sure that the question has been asked when a current BlackBerry user was looking at another device, "Can I get on Facebook on this like I can on my BlackBerry"?A Twitter for BlackBerry app from RIM will generate millions if not tens of millions of downloads. If the app doesn't suck, it alone could keep a segment of BlackBerry users loyal to the BlackBerry brand.
