Blackberry, the hand-held device by Research In Motion, hit another legal snag last week as detailed by ABM member Forbes.com. While this tangle has sent a wave of concern throughout the throngs of users who fear a disconnect from their industry, optimism says business media might partially fill the void. While it would be tough, if not impossible, for a business media site to act as an e-mail conduit, the ubiquity of other wireless devises such as cell phones and iPods could offer possibilities. Subscriptions of personalized content delivered to hand-helds are on the rise. Information supplied by business media companies on a "personalized" basis might give commuters and travelers something to read on trains and planes.

That suggestion has the feel of a drowing man grasping at straws. For crying out loud! The business media is going to have to come up with something better than capitalising on the negotitaing ploys of lawyers in mid-settlement to plot a course for future prosperity.
