The Gadget Police

Ahhh... what a relief. RIM finally settled the dispute over their push technology, which means nobody will be takin' my Blackberry away.

I'm really starting to depend on it. The damn thing really is addictive (there's a reason they call them Crackberry). Its so much more capable than a regular phone. I've used Google to find things around town on numerous occasions and yeah, I know you can do that on some of the other phones too--but typing much with a regular phone keypad is a chore. I've only skimmed the surface of this thing's capabilities and I'd already put it up there on the "technology I can't live without" list.

I didn't REALLY believe the shutdown would happen. The almighty dollar is a powerful one. I'm just glad the threat is over!
