BlackBerry And Typo Declare Peace In Our Time

The legal battle between the Ryan Seacrest backed Typo who is known for making keyboards for iPhones, and BlackBerry is apparently over. BlackBerry announced this morning that it has settled all outstanding legal disputes:

As part of the settlement, Typo Products LLC, Typo Innovations LLC, Show Media LLC, Hallier Investments LLC, and Laurence Hallier have agreed to permanently discontinue selling anywhere in the world keyboards for smartphones and mobile devices with a screen size of less than 7.9 inches. Typo Products LLC, Typo Innovations LLC, Show Media LLC, Hallier Investments LLC, and Laurence Hallier may continue to sell keyboards for devices with a screen size of 7.9 inches or larger. Other terms of the settlement are confidential.

This pretty much makes sure that Typo and BlackBerry will never cross paths again. Unless BlackBerry makes an 8″ tablet with a keyboard. One has to wonder what the keyboards that Typo has already shipped are going to be worth on Craigslist.
