Love it when PR stunts backfire!

"has blamed a hacker for posting an update to her Twitter account using an iPhone" - probably a weak password.

This reminds me of the US talk show host, Oprah I think her name is, who was sponsored by MS to plug the Surface. She used an iPad to post to twitter saying how much she "loved" her Surface. Hehehehe

Unlike Google, MS and Apple, Blackberry are 100% focused on phones with no distractions, so they should be formidable in terms of not having to compromise their strategy.

Isn't Oprah the chick from Les Mis?
