So Blackberry can quickly get a sales injunction for this but Apple can't get injunctions on Samsung devices even after blatantly copying the iPhone and iPad? What the fk is wrong with our judicial system????

It's a much simpler case with just one obviously offending simple product.
The only reason users like the keyboard on the Blackberry is it was the only option available in order to get a "smartphone". I had multiple company issued BB phones that I endured for 5 years. I can't remember the model of the first one but the thing was huge! At least the keys on that one were a little easier to handle. I hated the tiny keys and interface that in many cases wasn't intuitive as they got smaller. A year and a half ago they switched to iPhones. What a difference! Apple's iOS is easy to learn because of the touch interface. Granted the iOS touch keyboards could use improvement and allowing 3rd party software keyboards to be selected as defaults for the system and for individual apps would be the best way to handle it. But why would I want to spend money on a keyboard case that makes my iPhone into a system I hated? I know there are plenty of BB lovers out there that are upset that this case is not available anymore especially if they didn't know it existed until this article was written.
Does BB honestly think this some how impacted their ability to sell more BB. Usually when you are award an injunction against selling more product, the Patent holder usually has to show it has adversely affected their own sales.
Hell, they did not stop Samsung from selling their copycat products and Apple show they did in fact affect their sales.
I guess in some twisted way BB think by getting this product off the market they will get back those few people who prefer the physical keyboard over a virtual keyboard.

Cool, but where do the berry addicts carry it? It is like way too tall for pockets.

I gather he's a co-owner of the venture.
