“Enterprise Spy” has posted an excellent article on the BlackBerry workaround for those of you haven’t already sold yours on eBay.
Some background: In 2001, Virginia-based NTP filed a lawsuit alleging that Research In Motion’s BlackBerry wireless e-mail service infringed upon its patents. Judge James Spencer of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is about to rule on whether to enforce an injunction shutting down BlackBerry sales and service in the U.S.
There are a few dozen companies that have seen the RIM work-around and the specification under an NDA, I included. I won’t elaborate on when, where or details that might give away my ID but I will attempt to give you enough information to set your heart at ease that the BlackBerry work-around isn’t such a big deal at all – IMO.
There are (as far as I have seen) two versions. One is indistinguishable from the current service (The StealthBerry) and the other is far more interesting and introduces more features (dubbed “The Blackcherry or The StrawBerry”) that will be integrated into future models if a settlement is not reached with NTP. I’ll attempt to describe the latter product first.
