Feds Enter Blackberry Fray

Rick Zeman writes "Blackberry addicted US Feds have entered into the patent dispute between Canadian company Research in Motion and US patent-holders NTP. From the article: 'The Justice Department has filed a legal brief in a patent dispute, asking a federal court to delay any immediate shutdown of the popular wireless e-mail system to ensure that state and federal workers can continue to use their devices.' Apparently 10% of US Blackberry users are government users."

Before anyone resurrects the asshat response that Solandri (704621) gave you, I think its important to point out that your #1 point states that the patent includes the idea of a wireless handheld. Not just accessing e-mail from wherever. "There is nothing innovative nor original about losing the wires or shrinking the the computer down to the size of a handheld as it pertains to email." umm... yes there is. Up till that point, I assume no one had bothered to create such a device. Hence the innovation.
