One of the most popular debates in the business world right now is BlackBerry vs. iPhone. TechRepublic’s U.K. sister site Silicon.com asked this question to CIOs during its 2008 CIO50 event. The responses from the CIOs might surprise you, especially from one IT leader who said, “Neither, actually” and offered a rather unique alternative.
