BlackBerry Cool » Balsillie ends iBerry rumors… Or does he? — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 13:29:58 +0000

[...] In what might be sure to crush the hearts of tech geeks and business suits all at once, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie dismissed rumors about a potential union with Apple to create the ultimate gadget. Or did he? Balsillie’s comments seem a little vague, so let’s investigate. Here’s what AOL is reporting Balsillie said when questioned about the iBerry: But RIM must avoid tying itself too closely to one partner, said Balsillie. [...]

[...] One of the main causes for investor doubt in RIMâ€™s stock has been the recent release of the Motorola Q, which the mainstream media mistakenly believes is a competitor to the BlackBerry; itâ€™s not. The Motorola Q is for people who love the RAZR and want email. BlackBerrys are for people who need email as well as some secondary handset functionality. Despite constant whispers, RIM to date has not yet released a true consumer level competitor to devices like the Motorola Q or the Sidekick 3 (as lovely as the 7130g is, it offers nothing in the way of multimedia options that consumers crave). Partnering with a company to produce a true consumer handset would expand their market share and strengthen their brand without distracting them from continued growth in the enterprise market. You only have to look as far as the iBerry to see how exciting such a partnership could be. [...]

[...] In the past week and a bit we’ve seen a lot of carrier announcements on RIM’s two newest devices: the 7130 and 8707 BlackBerrys. The anticipation over these two devices has somewhat divided the BlackBerry Cool office; some can’t wait for a UMTS BlackBerry to hit North American shores, while the 71xx proponents among us who are jealous of our 8700 loving counterparts are chomping at the bit for Rogers’ 7130g. The more optimistic BlackBerry Cool employees are even holding out for the magical uberBerrys that will probably be here in the fall. Post a comment and let us know which known or unknown device you want the most and why, or even why your happy with the BlackBerry you’ve got. [...]

[...] The World Cup may be on everyone’s mind, but we here at BlackBerry Cool can’t stop thinking about the iBerry — whether it exists, will exist, should exist (we say yes) or if RIM has something better in store for us. Now, in the spirit of giving stuff away for nothing, we’re putting the question to you. Post a comment and tell us whether you think the iBerry is a fraud, the future, only the first step for converged devices, or not even close to RIM’s real ‘lifestyle’ device. Tell us how you want it to look, function and cost. The person who puts together the best answer will receive a $25 gift certificate from the iTunes music store — good for approximately two albums or 25 ELO singles. [...]

Not too many moons ago I was complaining about having to carry around two devices, my cell phone and my PDA. Thanks to RIM, those devices merged into my most favorite possession. However, somehow I’m still lugging around two devices, my iPOD and my BB. Please, please, please give me an iBerry. How great would that be at the gym? Hope it has the QWERTY keyboard.

Maybe because I’m not such a techno geek as some may be,I really dont like the convergence aspect. I feel RIM should just continue to expand on what they do best and that is continue to “push” their push email business.Its not as if they completely dominate the PDA segment yet.Though over the next few years I believe they can. I am a confessed Blackberry addict, but RIM should stick to their knitting…I dont want an iBerry.

I agree; the reason I chose a B-berry over Windows Mobile PDAs was because I have Macs and not PCs. The device seems more “Apple” like; meaning better design in a sotware and hardware sense. But syncing/connecting a Mac and a B-berry could be easier.
