I've waded back into the Great BlackBerry War of 2005 with a press release on the U.S. Patent Office's latest decision to reject the remaining patent claims by NTP.
I know that this is a terribly dry topic for most folks. But it means that BlackBerry devices are somewhat further from the brink of shutdown than they were at this time last week.
The press release is entitled U.S. Patent Office Ruling Frees Wireless Sector, Signals End of Frivolous Lawsuits. I'm somewhat opinionated this time out: I guess I'm tired of patent trolls hijacking the IT agenda.
Frightening update: I'm scheduled to be interviewed live on television by Report on Business Television (ROBTV) this evening at 7:10 p.m. Eastern. The hit will be rerun tonight at 11 p.m. (ish). I'll post a link to the streamable file once it's on their website. OMG.
Another frightening update (9:20 p.m.): The interview went really well. I don't think I embarrassed myself too badly. It was quite the experience, and I look forward to doing it again soon. The interview will be available for streaming from the ROBTV web site at this address: http://www.robtv.com/articles/rob.tv/2. It's not up now, but it should be available by tomorrow. More soon...
Your turn: Do I deserve a BlackBerry for Chanukah? How about a Treo 650? Bueller?

Hi Carmi..
Haven't been ny in a few days..so much to do...so little time!
So does that mean if you already have a Blackberry, which I don't, that you won't get tech support, or what?
Hmmmmmm. You deserve something better than that, Carmi! Hope you get it! (lol)
Of course you deserve a Blackberry, if not for your amazing talent, then for your sensitivity and blogging skills!
;-) Happy Chanuka!

Michele sent me to visit, Carmi.
I've never had a PDA and don't know much about them. I'm a little surprised you don't have one tho since you do like toys!
Happy Hanukkah!
You and me both deserve Blackberry's for Hanukah. I'd love one. I didn't know they were under some kind of threat. Shows you what chance I have of ever owning one.
Michele....
Glad that your interview went well! And I say, yes...you deserve a Blackberry!
