BlackBerry (CrackBerry) facing shutdown?

By

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. is under pressure to settle or face a possible shutdown of its U.S. mobile e-mail service after it was dealt another legal setback on Wednesday in a key patent infringement case. I would be shocked it a shutdown happened, because so many Fortune 500 companies have them and money talks in the legal system.

U.S. District Judge James Spencer denied a request by Research In Motion to enforce the terms of a disputed $450 million settlement reached earlier this year with patent holding company NTP Inc. Now the judge will set up a hearing on whether RIM can keep selling or importing its BlackBerry hardware and software in the United States.
