As we speak RIM is taking its own medicine… And it tastes so bad that it sucks. Not sure if you recall when RIM sued Hanspring and Good, and when RIM sued Glenayre, and who knows who else, for their patent on “method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device”… I remember reading their patent back in 2001-2002, and me thinking "this sucks, it is not fair" – because the IP covered typical networking and email stuff. More recently RIM sued Cranberry, a Cape Cod software company that named a program after the local cranberries. Maybe next they will sue anything that ends or sounds like “berry”, such as
Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries (of course) and even Crackberries. Whatever…The other day I wrote about Mobile e-Mail, Microsoft, Exchange, and Middleware and how it affects RIM, but I guess RIM has much worst short-term issues with NTP and related lawsuits. Pretty serious stuff…
