Palm was the first company to work with the feds by providing it's Tungsten W which provided push messaging and voice. These devices were introduced and used for government far before business / consumer models became mainstream (as is often the case for technology). Several Senators were spearheading this mobile device initiative, including Senators McCain and Robert Byrd. The device usage feedback and feature requests from these early government pilots of mobile messaging DID shape into what the business / consumer market uses today, so DO give credit where credit is due! His aids didnt claim he created the Blackberry, they merely mentioned his role (experience) in the matter.
