RIMM's LEGO Machines Test Blackberry

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pirate-and-space-accessories-optional dept.

LEGO - my - Crackberry writes "Matthias Wandel is an engineer at Research in Motion (RIMM), the company that makes the Blackberry. What did RIMM turn to for testing the antenna reception of one of its 900MHz devices? LEGO machines. Specifically a device made of LEGO that could rotate a Blackberry about its horizontal & vertical axis in a pre-defined pattern."

    I figure if you're going to write an article about RIM's activities, you had best get the name right. It is 'RIM', not 'RIMM'. Both the /. article, and TFA have it wrong....

    I am astounded!

    RIMM is their stock market symbol, so it is a valid name to call them by in my books.
