BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Is Old KickStart

Instead of launching a new series with the BlackBerry family, Research in Motion has decided to give the BlackBerry KickStart 8220 a new name.

I wonder if it would really be so bad if America’s politicians attracted the same amount of attention as its doyennes of the supermarket checkout aisle. What’s so bad about a politician who young people actually care about? This is a classic example of the “if you can’t join them, beat them” strategy. But can you blame the McCain campaign? Barack Obama’s Facebook page listed 1,334,162 supporters at press time. McCain’s? Only 203,223. And in an April 21 M...
