I'd be interested to see a touch-screen Berry with a soft-keyboard like the iphone. Not sure if thats doable patent-wise, but the one thing i like about the Berry is the local file storage and the 3rd party apps both of which Apple seems to want to severely limit. “Agree, Brian–as noted in the copy”

But other Blackberry models will be coming out, and I'd hope that RIM would have the smarts to do one that was good for books, too, not just communications. There is a huge market for good all-in-one devices, just as there'll be a smaller one for book-optimized gizmos. Thanks. David Agree, Brian–as noted in the copy.
