Mobile Mentalism reports the “Frankenstein’s monster of hype” – a rumored deal between Apple and RIM for the purpose of producing the Apple-Berry-Phone. iPhone rumors have become a daily routine by now, but an “AppleBerry” can definitely be an interesting twist to the plot. I never liked the ROKR – a clumzy, forced, time buying, relationship between the company with the best user interface and the company with the undeniable worst.

With RIM, Apple maybe initiating the first genuine line of converged phones. It certainly won’t be a straight forward approach.

While some may look at the difficult synergy between a consumer company (Apple) and a corporate one (RIM), I personally think it’s a perfect proposition focusing on the high-end, style minded, user. A proposition that would push both iPod and BlackBerry forward. Apple should not be playing the mid range and low end game. Regular mobile phones will be much better MP3 players for a much better price when it comes to that segment.
