With [iOS][3] now offering business-friendly security features, the [shift away from BlackBerry][4] is well underway, and the transition [hasn't exactly played out well for RIM][5]. Now, the company even appears to be embracing the recently established competition, by launching BlackBerry Mobile Fusion. Beginning today, the new enterprise management tool will support not only BlackBerry devices and PlayBook tablets, but also Android and iOS tablets and smartphones, through the Universal Device Service.
