Bono lets slip details of BlackBerry U2 application
Research In Motion is ploughing big bucks into its sponsorship of the upcoming U2 tour, so what does it have planned on the content side of things? Canadian DJ Alan Cross has uncovered some hints, after chatting to Bono at a gig and asking him about the RIM deal.
“I’m very excited about this: Research in Motion is going to give us what Apple wouldn’t – access to their labs and their people so we can do something really spectacular,” said the singer. Cross asked if he meant a U2 app that would let fans interact with the band during the tour. “You’re not far off,” replied Bono.
Which is great, although we can’t help thinking it would be significantly more spectacular if fans who didn’t own BlackBerries were allowed to join in too.
