Blackberry, RIM, finally gets a clue

The big news yesterday, or the soon to be big news is that Blackberry, RIM, is now going to be able to support all Windows mobile devices with their BES.  Tis is huge since the largest rap on the company is the look and feel of their hardware, almost everyone says software wise they are way ahead of the game.  I am not sure why this took so long and release is not for a few months.  Probably the announcement had something to do with a little outage last week, heck we can all use good press once in a while.  This may be a fatal blow to other devices or more correctly platforms.  Blackberries are by far the most used in the business world and mark my words within a year of the release RIM will jump 5 points in market share.

There is a gentleman’s wager here on which technology will be more prolific in 4 years, Wi-Fi or Wimax.  I am on the side of Wi-Fi as this tends ot be the closest to implementation and the cheaper option currently.  Thank you London for hoping on the Wi-Fi bandwagon.  I will toast to you when I have won the bet.  Of course I am worried about Echo Peak from Intel, but that is still a little ways away.

As far as I am concerned the weight goal has been met, yep reached 200 this am.  I have a week to spare before I get to go to the Tennis camp so maybe I can trim a few more lbs off.  28 lbs in 2 months, and all this from taking away junk food, soda and running a bit everyday.  I like most in this country got lazy and developed food in mouth disease.  I feel alot better and am looking forwar to getting a tad lighter.  A lean mean fighting machine  lol

Well that is all the rambling I have for today
