Apple And Blackberry -- Not What You Think

Misek's prediction, it's important to note, is not based on inside information or special knowledge. It's more of a What-Would-I-Do-If-I-Were-Steve-Jobs brand of wishful thinking.

Misek says that Apple and RIM could combine their technologies to develop a new kind of wireless gadget.

Immediately, the rabid iPod enthusiasts started to imagine an iPod nano that can make phone calls and send e-mail. In fact, the opposite would be true.

Any conceivable AppleBerry would essentially be a BlackBerry with special earbuds, pre-installed iTunes and possibly -- just possibly -- a control wheel somewhere, either in software on the screen (less likely) or a physical one on the front (more likely).

An iPod nano that sends e-mail is what we want. A BlackBerry that plays music is what we'll get -- if this partnership happens at all.
