RIM Gives Up After Losing Initial Battle Over BBX Trademark

First time accepted submitter Mastadex writes "RIM's brand new BlackBerry mobile OS, due in early 2012, was expected to be called BBX. But due to a recent court ruling against it, RIM has dropped BBX and opted simply for 'BlackBerry 10.' Software company Basis International said a U.S. federal court in Albuquerque has granted a temporary restraining order against RIM, barring it from using Basis's BBX trademark. The court decision bars RIM from using the trademark at its Asian DevCon conference on Wednesday and Thursday in Singapore."

Until this case came up a while back, I didn't have the slightest idea that they were releasing a new OS.

I'd say it has been a resounding success!

Should have called it BBQ

BBQ = BlackBerry QNX

QNX (cue-nix) is the OS they are putting on the BlackBerry.

It would stick in people's mind like BBQ sauce to your shirt.

I sure as hell am not going to use W or X. What is left besides Y? Z? Not a chance.

Brilliant system! It works great on all sorts of things!
