Will the suits watch mobile video? It's a far-cry from mobile email but the lawsuit weary folks at Research In Motion are giving mobile content a go with a new handset that takes aim at the white collar, blue collar and collar-less alike: It's called the BlackBerry Pearl. Features include a color screen, speakerphones, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, a memory-card slot, voice dialing, movie playback and a music player that functions while other apps are open. Is RIM channeling Pirates of the Caribbean with the name? Maybe there's a Disney tie-in to rope in the kids?
