Bad News for Blackberry

It looks like the Supreme Court is not going to look into the Blackberry case now and they might be cruising for a shutdown.

The high court rejected without comment a petition by Research In Motion Ltd. to review a federal appeals court ruling, which upheld infringement charges by NTP Inc., a U.S. patent holding company.

NTP Inc. said the court rejection had "closed the final path for RIM to avoid liability" in the case and cleared the way for a lower court to issue an injunction that would bar most U.S. BlackBerry sales and service.

Now RIMM needs to pay up or they will really feel the pinch when they have to shut their service down. I would quickly make alot of Crackberry addicts into Palm Pilot addicts.
