I would disagree with you on BB being dead. BB has a very robust OS and very robust security. The recent fiasco with Apple's icloud and security breach leaves them vulnerable. Also Apple right now is in the same position BB was in 2000 - very arrogant in basically telly the consumer what they will be needing as the next great thing. That they can't live without their apple product. BB did this and paid the price. However they, just like Apple will be back.
