My Blackberry Is Not Working!

 Why is Apple called Apple and BlackBerry called Blackberry?

Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple) on naming Apple: "I was actually a fruitarian at that point in time. I ate only fruit. Now I'm a garbage can like everyone else. And we were about three months late in filing a fictitious business name so I threatened to call the company Apple Computer unless someone suggested a more interesting name by five o'clock that day. Hoping to stimulate creativity. And it stuck. And that's why we're called Apple"

Research In Motion (RIM), the company behind the BlackBerry product line, settled on the name "BlackBerry" only after weeks of work by Lexicon Branding Inc., the Sausalito, California-based firm that also named Apple’s PowerBook. One of the naming experts at Lexicon thought the miniature buttons on RIM’s product looked "like the tiny seeds in a strawberry," Lexicon founder David Placek says. "A linguist at the firm thought straw was too slow sounding". Someone else suggested blackberry. RIM went for it.
