Will AT&T’s acquisition of T-mobile mean the end of Blackberry?
If you haven’t read the top tech blogs in the past few days, AT&T is buying T-mobile for $39B. However, most of these blogs ignore what that means for Blackberry.

For the stragglers on T-mobile who have Blackberries because they couldn’t get an iPhone, this means they might the jump once the merger is official. This coupled with the addition of iPhone to Verizon means that the rest of the year will make or break it for Blackberry. iPhone has better apps and iTunes, which is far better than Blackberry’s native media player.
Which makes me ask the question, what’s your next move RIM? Buy a media player company to use for its phones? Invest in a better OS or new hardware design? All of the above and more?
