I think this video may have popped up on CrackBerry.com first. Jim Balsillie has a good sense of humor…

BlackBerry
Can someone please explain to me without using fanboy logic, just how the iPhone, is killing the BlackBerry and why I should just shut RIMarkable down and sell all my stock in RIM before it is too late?
A bit of a facetious opening statement, I know, however, I am amazed at the number of people predicting the end of RIM, and every other mobile phone manufacturer for that matter, simply because Apple has released a really cool phone. Do you remember that movie Demolition Man and how all restaurants in the future were Taco Bell? Well, if you believe some of these articles, all mobile phones will be iPhones eventually.
Let’s see. Since the iPhone came out, more BlackBerrys have been sold than iPhones, RIM has posted it’s biggest quarterly earnings to date, and celebrities keep flocking to the BlackBerry when we can rarely find a picture or two of celebs with iPhones.
How exactly is the iPhone killing the BlackBerry again?

I was just reading an article about how Madonna cannot bear to be without hear BlackBerry and even sleeps with it under her pillow and it got me to wondering about how many RIMarkable readers sleep with their devices.
I have to admit, although I don’t sleep with my BlackBerry under my pillow, it usually finds it’s way to the nightstand next to my bed. I don’t imagine that Madonna and I are the only ones.

XM and QuickPlay announced yesterday XM Radio Mobile for BlackBerry Smartphones. For $7.99 per month select model BlackBerry users will get access to 20 channels of XM programming, mostly commercial free music channels as well as The Virus (uncensored talk) and XM Comedy (uncensored comedy) via QuickPlay’s OpenVideo.
I have XM in my car on doubt that I will ever buy a car again that doesn’t have it. For me personally, however, the 20 channels that are initially being offered just aren’t enough. I carry my iPod around with me everywhere and I can get all the commercial free music that I want. The real draw of XM, in my opinion, is all of the sports, news, and talk radio that you get.
I may try the 24-hour trial, however, I think I will be a bit more interested when they offer more of the XM channels that I actually listen to.

I was just reading a Business Standard interview with Research in Motion vice-president of customer accounts, Gregory Wade, and one thing (actually 4 or 5) really stood out.
RIM will announce another 4-5 models in 2008 and all of them will be packed with consumer-friendly applications and design.
Now, even though we can assume that 1 or 2 of these new models will be CDMA versions of the BlackBerry Curve, that still leaves room for 2 or 3 new BlackBerry releases.
It will be an exciting year to say the least.

Go Daddy, one of the biggest domain registrar on the net, recently announced that Go Daddy email now synchs with BlackBerry Internet Service.
That’s right boys and girls… Set your email up through GoDaddy.com it will automatically push messages to your BlackBerry.
Email messages sent from your BlackBerry will appear in the “Sent Items” folder in your web client. All Go Daddy needs to do now is offer IMAP.
