Hey! They stock just became optionable, so I guess they've made the "big time" <VBG>!!

As far a Java goes, I would suspect that they would be leaving that segment alone for now. One of the problems is the bandwidth limitations required by interactive web-based applications like those that could be built with Java. Pagers like Blackberry are much better at store and forward technology (email, quotes, etc).

If you read back in this thread, we talked about some thoughts for follow on product improvements to Blackberry.
