SAP and RIM announce CRM on the Blackberry.
Salespeople are inherently mobile so it is good to see this from SAP. salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and others have offered the feature for a while.
But will going native on the Blackberry slow SAP down from replatforming (other software vendors have reported it is not a trivial task to then port to Symbian, Windows etc)? Especially when mobile browsers are becoming more viable with improving network speeds and more powerful devices.
In any case, it will be interesting to see SAP executives at Sapphire next week play up mobile computing while downplaying SaaS. When I wrote about SAP's "hidden innovations" last Fall, I had hoped to see SAP show progress in both. And a few other areas of innovation.
