    BlackBerrys are small fruits that grow on wild thorn bushes that protect them from predators.

    If you have a good imagination it's likely to be something to do with it.

    Where as Apple for example need a lot of care and attention and have very little protection against predators at all.

    Again if you have a good imagination and think of the fruits rather than the companies you can see there is a clear distinction between the 2.

    Here's the relevant portion of the Wikipedia article:

    "The name BlackBerry was coined by the marketing company Lexicon Branding. The name was chosen due to the resemblance of the keyboard's buttons to that of the drupelets that compose the blackberry fruit."

    Evil queens in fairy tales have a history of putting people to sleep with poison apples. Not a very trustworthy fruit.

    lol well "technically" she did. The snake tempted her and she gave some to Adam

    The fruit, typically depicted as a red apple, came from the tree of knowledge. So I guess that's Apple's way of saying that their products enlighten humanity. There's a nice parallel between Lucifer, the morning star "angel" who embodied the snake that tempted Eve, and the Greek legend Prometheus the light-bearer who brought fire to men when the Gods denied them.

    I'm surprised that Apple hasn't been labeled as one of the four Horsemen of the apocalypse since they're so bold with that bitten apple LOL!
