Honey? My Blackberry broke. What? I don’t know, it just stopped working. Yeah, I know it looks like it fell off the roof, but I don’t know how that could have happened.

Okay, I’ll still probably wait for a 3G version since I really like my Blackberry Pearl, but this is an awesome move.

I will, however, call bubkis on this next part:

Apple “[is] excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users,” but they are taking the time to do it properly “because we’re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once – provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc.”

Wait, last time I checked the Mac was an open platform, relatively safe from “viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc.”? And doesn’t the iPhone run on OS X?

Last time I asked those questions the response was… a little chilly.

Updated: Glenn over at TidBITS predicted this last week. Great scoop!
