First Facebook, now Barack Obama on BlackBerry
Barack Obama fans, this one is for you – you can now call your phone the BarackBerry. We started the month with the Apple iPhone supporting Microsoft Exchange functionality, and now it appears as if Research in Motion is taking another step towards the consumer market. The maker of the BlackBerry device announced that it is partnering with will.i.am and his website, Dipdive, to create a mobile version for BlackBerry devices. The website, heavily geared towards Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, will "bring the artist into a direct relationship with the fan," according to RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie. Now all we need is Hillary Clinton and John McCain RIM applications – heck, even Ralph Nader may need one. We just find it funny this was announced Thursday, you know, the day Apple announced their SDK and Enterprise details?

Before you Obama backers follow a hollow movie star with nothing but a message of change, think about this. He is muslim. Part of a religion that commands absolute submission to the religious authority. You want him lead a country of the free world? Be careful what you wish for.
Do you realize the number of conflicts in the world that muslims are involved in? Take a look at this youtube video for a “summary”. I would take Hillary any day over Obama. At least you know what you will get. I don’t agree with their socialist proposals, but I will never hand over the reigns of my country to Hussein Obama…. I am not a Bush cheerleader either, he has really made some blunders. Term limits in congress must be pasted or this country is screwed.
Oh, and stay the F$%& out of my blackberry!

you all are crazy with the muslim angle, im not pulling for him but if you honestly think thats true then i really feel you should not have the right to vote.
And how did the comments turn to apple vs. RIM? its about rim and obama (not muslim), lets try to get back to that.
Also, if you want submission to religious authority just look at the Republicans.
BARACK!!! To all my Haters!!!!
Judging by some of you peoples comments I guess atleast your happy…. They say ignorence is bliss!
Moving along to what the post was about, when will this be avalible?
Is it just me or does the term “Barackberry” sound like how someone with a strong Japanese accent would say “Blackberry”…
Sorry, just had to say that…
dtest i agree to a point religiois extremists an teacraces ar 90percent of the wolds confilct genertors thesdays iran a theocracy causeing all sorts of problems in iraq pakistan and afganistan alquada extremists who wnat to twst theislam an possiby muslims to be hei litle army of zealotos drones. they also want to set up theocratic nations on top of another state.
hamas basicly an iran prx with the same agenda
an were did this turn political wel i believe thes lines say it all
“Barack Obama fans, this one is for you – you can now call your phone the BarackBerry.”
and
“The website, heavily geared towards Barack Obama’s presidential campaign”
that is were it gets political
There is a reason why BlackBerry owners never owned an iPhone.
Why would we want to give it up when we get what we need.
Exactly an your fimware/os upgrade dosn’t reactivate the sim lock an you can. Change ou batteries and change out the micro sd cards for bigger ones and us your music as ringtones without having to drop 1.98 a pop an use walpaers without havining to buy those from the carrier.
Can we all please check our polotialc beliefs at the door. This is not the forum for that type of discussion. By some of the responses please read up on all the candidates before you comment. Ignorance has run amuck on this site. DAMN!
In metaphor terms, Obama is definitely the iPhone. Young upstart with plenty of promise while Hillary is the Blackberry steady, not flashy, gets the job done. I suggest each of you to check out this interview by a tech prince in Marc Andersseen before the hype. Interesting stuff.

In all due respect, you sound like a drunkard…ask him to accept Vice Presidency. Just sleep thru the next 8 yrs like Rumpelstiltskin and miss this joyous ride.
NOBAMA!!!!! NOBAMA!!!! Madame President pleaaaaase! :-b
I guess the joke is on all of these whackos on here. Don’t you feel foolish now. I wonder how many of these people were motivated by fear and hate. Oh well, I like the article. Didn’t John McCain invent the Blackberry, just kidding. You can hate me now.
No body mentioned it again, Obama is elected president and I still use my Ipod and BB. I love America and Obama but to hell with haters and racist.
Speaking of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
