BlackBerry Barack

With many eyewitnesses name-checking their BlackBerry’s in the recent reports coming out of Mumbai, it seems they aren’t the only ones firmly attached to the device.

Reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, president-elect Obama, says giving up his BlackBerry ‘is a problem’ and that he’s working with the Secret Service to work out how he can get information, ‘from the 10 or 12 people who surround my office in the White House’, he said.

Good news for us all that here’s a man who wants to stay in touch with what’s going outside those white walls. (And yet another extraordinarily great piece of publicity for the BlackBerry!)
