OT but related...

If anyone is interested in further following this saga.

Just tell your girlfriends and groupies that the Blackberry they own might well be the last Blackberry they'll ever own.

Unless Amazon buys out.

(If Amazon did buy out, I would start considering, for the first time, a Blackberry - provided of course that they reversed position on censorship or data filtering, but Amazon has a history of being likely to do that. It will also be likely to add interesting things to products that would go well with its own product line. Anyway, evidence below:)
