Hardcore Blackberry Fans get disappointed with RIM

will blackberry make a comeback? Are their days numbered?

Recently in response to a article written by Cell Phone guru The Boy Genius( http://ow.ly/gdbz), I wrote the following below... It's a well written article I recommend you read...

I’ve been a blackberry affectionado from day 1, with the 950… And this year have reached a downward slope…

The playing field has changed… you now have laptop’s disguised as ‘cell phones’ because of the miracles hardware can push in a small space…

RIM has may drop to the NCAA of smartphones… MiniOSX taking the lead followed by Android, Web OS etc.. Now with these micro laptops disguised as cell phones the competition is w/ the OS…

A bitter lesson apple learned in the 80’s when the Mac didn’t have applications and Window’s whipped them silly..

Great article ur right on many accounts… I haven’t quite fell off RIM but they’ll have 2 pull the magic they did when the pearl first came out

----

I mean the latest blackberry coming out has 256MB? When the iPhone is low end is starting at 16gig? and at half the price? Apple has sure given then a thrashing, but it's no different from the thrashing RIM gave it's competition when it released the Blackberry Pearl...

Blackberry has become a brand but will they last? What are your thoughts?

wonderful, speech from MJ at Grammies in his own words

"when i create my music, I feel like a instrument of nature, i wonder what delight nature must feel when we open our hearts and express our God given talents... the sound of approval rose across the universe and the whole world abounds in magic... wonder fills our heart for what we have glimpsed for an instant, the playfulness of life" MJ

Steve Job's back to work at Apple

Apple's spokes person is quoted saying "Steve is back to work, He's currently at Apple a few days a week, and working from home the remaining days. We are very glad to have him back." This has recently been updated on the Reuters web site.

As a Apple product fan, it's great to see his return. After a week of bad news with the sad passing of Michael Jackson. It is exciting seeing Steve Job's who has also already contributed countless of contributions to the world continue to work.

The latest apple products have been blockbusters, the new MacBook Pro's have offered great price and performance. Nothing needs to be added with the great success of the iPhone.
