I about lost my lunch with that one- too funny!]]>Feb 3rd 2006 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/
I think this is where independent mobile IM software will bank quite a buck as things migrate to Series X0 and WinMobile devices. So now, companies will have to go out and license out all this software and get UIDs for their users and have them look like teenagers constantly addicted to an IM screen on their portable device.

Either that, or as 3G becomes more of a standard in the US, things will migrate to using VoIP as a means to communicate and receive messages.

All a matter of time to see what actually happens. Anyone care for popcorn and drinks to enjoy the show?

The main argument on behalf of keeping the service (apart from NTP's invalid patents at any rate) seems to be that a major government agency does not want to lose its service--is the government the one that really needs this failure protection?]]>Feb 3rd 2006 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/Feb 3rd 2006 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/Feb 3rd 2006 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/Feb 3rd 2006 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/Feb 4th 2006 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/onion-infographic-blackberry-service-shutdown/
