Not So Great News for RIM (re: Blackberry)

Post by MomTo2Boys »

Looks like the Blackberry is losing some of (a lot of?) its federal government love:

Of course, my husband (a fed employee) says he'll probably have to use a Blackberry until the end of time and that the fed motto for technology is "Bringing you yesterday's technology tomorrow!" or something like that. Still thought it was interesting...
(Trying hard to not screw up handling the money that my husband and I have traded untold life-hours to earn...)

Working for the federal government, I loved your motto for technology. I'll probably be using that now because I lol'ed at it. Gracias.
