Typo Keyboard For iPhone Faces Sales Ban

time_lords_almanac (3527081) writes "BlackBerry is trying to put the kibosh on the Typo, a physical keyboard attachment for iPhone. And they've won the first round, in the form of a sales ban on the attachment. From the article: '"BlackBerry is pleased that its motion for a preliminary injunction against Typo Products LLC was granted. This ruling will help prevent further injury to BlackBerry from Typo's blatant theft of our patented keyboard technology," a spokeswoman for BlackBerry told the news agency in an email.'"

Further injury to Blackberry?

You mean it's possible for someone to destroy Blackberry faster than Blackberry has done itself?

Re:patented keyboard technology?

Because, you know, physical keyboards are such an advancing field.... I can't imagine how awful keyboards would be with out BlackBerry's patented technology.

Advancing? Hardly, there are patents and so no advancement is possible.

Can't get past the name

Why would they name a keyboard "typo"? Even as an amusing meta-reference, it falls flat.

It's like trying to sell a toilet paper named "Anal Scraper".
