John Mayer Betrays Apple with a (BlackBerry) Curve-ball?

Hb3.10.1-Thumb

John Mayer never ceases to irritate. Much as I love Steve Jobs and Apple, their insistence on putting the soft-rock crooner on the stage whenever they roll out a new product always grates. At this January’s iPhone introduction, the rumor was that Paul and Ringo would take the stage to kick off Beatles music on the iTunes Store, but we got John Mayer yet again.

And now, to what purports to be his own blog, Mayer has allegedly announced that he has an advance copy of RIM’s BlackBerry Curve, a direct iPhone competitor with a similar feature set, if implemented in a less-exciting way. In Benedict Arnold’s own words:

Just got an advance of the Blackberry Curve… I guess you could say I’m ahead of the… Nevermind.

lights will guide you home…

But never back to Cupertino. Who’s with me? No more Steve-notes for Mr. Mayer?
