BlackBerry’s War Against Ryan Seacrest’s Typo Keyboard Is Just Great

BlackBerry and Ryan Seacrest are not buds . The first Typo keyboard — an absolutely horrible iPhone keyboard fastening you would n’t wish on your forged enemy — was just the centering of a cause that cost Seacrest ’s crewnearly $ 860,000 . Now BlackBerry is back , and suing them again for the Typo 2 .

accord toThe Hollywood Reporter , here ’s what the complaint has to say on the matter :

“ Just as the did with the Typo Keyboard , suspect have again copied numerous proprietary aim and patents in the Typo 2 Keyboard . The Typo 2 Keyboard still blatantly replicate BlackBerry ’s iconic keyboard frock innovation that have been incarnate in numberous BlackBerry smartphones from the 2007 BlackBerry 8800 to the current Q10 and Classic models . ”

Let ’s take a look , shall we ?

Looks like BlackBerry has a point , even if the itemized list of similarity reads a petty nitpicky :

We ’re not talking multi - million dollar suit here , so the money exchanged is n’t really the the head . The fight itself though , is just bully . It ’s like learn the two worst teams in football hammer out at each other on the grid branding iron like a piteous man ’s Super Bowl . Nothing , and yet everything , is at interest .

I think BlackBerry might not care as much if the Typo was really good . I mean , they ’d probably still sue Seacrest , but at least the imitation would be somewhat flattering . But the Typo keyboardis one of the most misdirected attemptsat attempt to wreak strong-arm keys to digital smartphones . you could almost get word BlackBerry squall through the lawsuit : “ Hey , that ’s our thing ; stop making it look so bad . ” [ THRviaThe Verge ]
