“Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek said in a note to clients that he thinks the impact of Apple’s software development kit is neutral to RIM and maintained his ‘Buy’ rating and $150 target price for the stock,” The Associated Press reports.
“‘Microsoft, with Windows Mobile/ActiveSync, Nokia with Intellisync, and Motorola with Good Technology have all fared poorly in the enterprise. We have no reason to expect otherwise from Apple,’ he said,” AP reports.

MacDailyNews Take: iCal’ed. With a bullet.
Apple has quite the amusing propensity for flushing brain-dead analysts out of the woodwork. Careful, they scatter in the light.

I think it would be great to get these morons Email addresses and starting flooding them with our comments as stated here. Show them that ignorant comments like those will NOT go unnoticed. Here is this buttheads: peter.misek@canaccordadams.com
anti-creative cretin in da house!!!
Beotch!
I have no idea what “neutral” means… these analysts live in a silly world. I think the enterprise features means that the iphone is NOT neutral with respect to RIMM and will begin to take market share. I also read on Product, http://www.personafile.com/products that iPhone’s 2.0 software will support new hardware, namely a 3g iphone
”Microsoft, with Windows Mobile/ActiveSync, Nokia with Intellisync, and Motorola with Good Technology have all fared poorly in the enterprise. We have no reason to expect otherwise from Apple,’ he said,” AP reports.’
Reminds me of;
‘Palm CEO Ed Colligan, commenting on then-rumored Apple iPhone, Nov. 16, 2006 – We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone. PC (Apple) guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.’
Do you guy mind shameless self-promotion?

Misek is schpeesek
These lysts should not think with their anal.
Pick up your brains.
We are living the second revolution of the computers and Apple is not going to lose it.
“We are living the second revolution of the computers and Apple is not going to lose it.”
You mean Apple is Neo??? I thought this was like the 8th or 9th revolution?
Former analyst Peter Misek was spotted recently working at his new job. He’s now a shoe salesman at WalMart.
“He’s now a shoe salesman at WalMart.”
Funnier since it’s self-serve. Maybe he’s just a stalker?
Evidently there’s a been a big misunderstanding. The analyst’s source actually said “neutralize RIM”.
Once again Apple fires a shot across the bow, this time in the direction of RIM. So I guess that would be a RIM shot.
Analysts, weathermen, and economists should all switch jobs for a week to see if anyone notices a difference in the quality of the predictions.
Palm readers and astrologers could probably get better accuracy.
What a bunch of pinheads.
@Spark,
“That’s the company line over their at Canaccord while they quietly unload all the RIM stock they are holding.”
ROTFLOL…Absolutely. And we all know that analysis can write but they cannot analysis and write at the same time. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />

you guys are funny. iPhone will thrive…but so will Blackberry. The market is simply too large and consumers/users love choice regardless of whether iPhone is and will continue to be the superior total platform.
Wow, check this one out – this could impact core software development for iPhone, and not in a good way. They better change this…
