AppleBerry Predicted?
dr_fatty writes "The Globe and Mail is reporting that analyst Peter Misek, who predicted a partnership between Research in Motion and IBM, is now predicting a partnership between Apple and Rim. The predicted result? The AppleBerry. 'Such a deal would have huge merit because each company lacks what the other provides. RIM wants a firm foothold in the consumer market and Apple doesn't have a presence in the booming wireless data sector, he said.'"
...though I'd probably prefer an e-Paper Psion.
Peter Misek, the new John Dvorak.
Combined with Steve's last name, are we all getting Rim Jobs? /shudders
Bramble and apple pie... mmm.
If only they'd also tie up a deal with Custard Research Inc. that would be, well, pretty sweet.
And I just bought my blackberry!
Oh well, enough people think that I'm gay anyways, no need to advertise.
It would be nice to have more power strapped to my hip though. The blackberry is a neat toy, but nowhere near the tricorder that they made it out to be.
I want to see Mr Kipling get involved.

I wonder if mobile phone giant Orange will release a similar gadget. Of course, product comparisons would be meaningless...
Argh.
They're going to take a Black Berry, change the housing a little bit, make it a pearly white color, and call it the White Berry.
Then, in 6 months, Apple is going to release the exact same product, but in black. Apple will charge an extra $150 and call it the... wait for it... Black Berry.
That my friends, is what Apple brings to the partnership with RIM. The secret of how to charge $150 more for the same product, but in black.
[Fuck Beta]
o0t!
The predicted result? The AppleBerry.

AppleBerry - the wholesome goodness of Apple mixed with the mind-numbing addiction of BlackBerry! Goes great with iPod as a part of this nutritious breakfast!
It better be called something else, and no I don't mean iBerry, BlackPod, or any other combination of the two names. Of course, they could revive the "Newton" moniker...

Are we absolutely sure that this 'Peter Misek' isn't just Dvorak in a wig?

Nah, it'll be a "BlackBerry Newton" All they need to do is get a license to use the name from Nabisco.
Apple's customers are like no others--a rich blend of the most sociologically elite with those seeking elegant, simple computing... Unlike users of Intel/Windows computers, a significant portion of Apple's users are active , exploratory , avant-garde and early adopters . The activities they enjoy are unique in the way that they more often incorporate rich media such as video and music as well as more active prosumer behavior than many more passive Windows [and Linux] users.
With above-average household income and education levels, the Mac population [is] very attractive [ intellectually as well as physically
Congratulations. You win the Internet!

There are 0x40000000 types of people: those who understand 32-bit IEEE 754 floating point, and those who don't.
Does anyone know if Research in Motion is hiring? I just graduated with some BS in CS, and I could use a RIM job.
My Nokia phone has scratches, dust _somehow_ under the screen, needs to be restarted daily because of memory leeks, has no compatibility with Mac OSX and most applications cost quite a bit and do very little. If I can just have that in a beautiful Apple design I'll be happy.
