Here is a weird one... U2  have announced a tie up with RIM for their upcoming tour... After the old U2 iPods and the Product RED iPods which donate cash to Bono's charity, he is now extolling virtues of RIM and the Blackberry... Wonder if RIM will do a charity version too? The fact U2's investments include a fairly big shareholding in Palm so will they worry about this if their sponsorship with RIM hits Palm's share price??? The comment about 'Research in Motion is going to give us what Apple wouldn't' means what... more cash?? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090403.wrcoverrim04/BNStory/Technology/home

Strange quote from U2's manager... I had login for Horizon presale and looked like about half of tickets were £150 (+£13.50), standing tickets £55 (+£6) and cheapest tickets £30 (+£3.50). Are the cheaper tickets outside the stadium? U2 manager Paul McGuinness said: "U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience - this staging takes a giant leap forward. "With 85 per cent of the tickets priced at less than £86, general admission floor tickets at £49 and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue costing around £27, we have worked hard to ensure U2 fans can purchase a great-priced ticket with a guaranteed great view."
