The Great
BlackBerry Outage of 2007 continues, it would seem, and I’m sure that Steve
Jobs has a smile on his face right now, since his iPhone
can use any wifi network to send and receive emails. The irony is that Jobs,
given the choice, has always opted for closed, proprietary sytems over open
ones. But I’m sure that right now Research In Motion is wondering whether they
might not have tied up their network a bit too tightly.
Best comment of the day, over at MarketBeat:
"First good night’s sleep since I got the damn thing. I
might just experiment with the off switch some time."
