True, then the only logical explanation is that there was a second bullet. One that came from a grassy knoll.

Nice image of a blackberry going through an apple. Too bad the two apples aren’t the same ones. Or when a bullet (and/or blackberry) goes through an apple there wouldn’t be exit explosions on the entry side.

CSI gentlemen. CSI.

Don’t get me wrong – I think Apple’s over zealous efforts to control the user experience make some things just frustrating for developers. I can’t imagine why there isn’t better text-to speech integration with email etc. and bluetooth mouse control on the iPad as there is on Andorid tablets. Open is better – as long as it doesn’t negatively impact user experience.

It’s just good to have options. I like that RIM is on board with that.

I see what you’re saying but it’s a little different. Kik was using a patent that RIM owns.

Been reading some more about some of the policies that Apple is implementing, and am really glad that RIM is not going that direction. 30% would not be acceptable when reselling goods such a music or books…

I love that this is open.

However I also love how convincent that RIM’s Payment API is, so I am using it anyhow…

RIM will soon prove that openness is the best business policy. – Check with the folks at Kik about that!
