probably cheaper to buy blackberry than develop a phone from scratch, and blackberry's technology is quite impressive despite the pathologically incompetant CxO's steering as hard as possible towards the ground.

NY has that sorted out with the Taylor Law.

you can tell it's a good law because both unions and anti-union groups bitch about it from time to time.
