“Is the day near when you will get music on your BlackBerry and e-mail on your iPod? The idea of an ‘AppleBerry’ partnership between Research In Motion Ltd. and Apple Computer Inc. was floated yesterday by Peter Misek, an analyst with Canaccord Capital Inc., who last year accurately predicted a partnership between RIM and Intel Corp.,” Simon Avery reports for The Globe and Mail Update. “Such a deal would have huge merit because each company lacks what the other provides. RIM wants a firm foothold in the consumer market and Apple doesn’t have a presence in the booming wireless data sector, he said.”
Avery reports, “The two might jointly develop a new device: Apple could create a cellphone combining its iPod music device with RIM’s wireless technology, or RIM might embed Apple’s iTunes music into a future BlackBerry, he speculated.
