Hey guys,

I was watching the Keynote Oct 14th, the beginning of the presentation, COO Tim Cook comes up and you see a blackberry attached to his belt!

Well...thats it....just wanted to share!

And you know this how? Did you visualize a BlackBerry, or a case in which you assumed a BlackBerry was held? That would be a bad career move IMO. You don't see Pepsi drivers blatantly swilling Coke on the job do you?

They can.

But i wonder if the guy that does those Miller High Life commercials really "likes" miller high life. I mean c'mon who drinks that stuff unless you're down to your last $1.95 and you absolutely can't wait until payday for a beer.

Back on topic. I don't doubt the use of BB by the corporate elite of Apple since we all know how easy and smooth they run on a BES or other corporate environment.

It's not a BlackBerry he's wearing, it seems to be a wireless mic.

Up close you can see a #4 sticker on the thing, as in Mic #4, and if you keep looking close at the vid, you can see the antennae.

If the COO of Apple really did use a BlackBerry... I sincerely doubt it would be an 8700.

He is the COO and we all know the BB is a very secure device. It all makes sense.

@Dabin Oakes, there's a Mac Users Corner... please go check that out. My MBP works okay with PocketMac, but I only got an 8320

Good luck!
