Tomorrow is the last day for BlackBerry OS to work Maybe after it officially dies some nerd can make an actual unified inbox for iOS so that the only good thing about BlackBerry OS isn't gone forever.

Box in Florida probably bought the patent so that they could file lawsuits against like, CNC machine manufacturers for daring to produce something with a keyboard.

i remember a board member at one of my clients getting quite mad at me when i told them to switch to iphones for the next round of hardware because blackberry was done, back in 2011 turns out he still had a lot invested in bby at the time.

At the heart of the story is the business relationship between co-founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie.
