MIT Technology Review's BlackBerry primer

By Marc Perton

If you've been following the latest exploits of the
BlackBerry gang over at Research in Motion (and we know you have), you'll want to check out this company history at MIT's Technology Review. The article covers the last few years — and particularly RIM's software-licensing strategy — in depth, but also goes back to the company's roots, offering such arcana as the origins of the BlackBerry brand (the original — and fortunately not final
— name was "PocketLink").
