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.

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.

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.
