There was an article in the paper today about RIM (makers of the BlackBerry devices) won the patent case in the UK.
\n<\/a>
\nI came up some ideas** for what the Next Trend is going to be: Customized PDAs!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For old people, a PDA with a larger screen and larger buttons. It will be called the ElderBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  2. For poultry farmers, a PDA that comes with specialized software to calculate incubation times, production yields, and connections for temperature monitoring peripherals: The CackleBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  3. For movie and theatre critics, a PDA with a special keyboard designed to be used with either two thumbs up, or two thumbs down: The RaspBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  4. For musicians, this PDA is capable of recording sound bytes, and has connections for several MIDI devices: The ChuckBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n

    And here’s some more that are still in development<\/b>:<\/p>\n

  5. The HalleBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  6. The StrawBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  7. The BlueBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  8. The YogiBerry<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
