Could you help me speculate why sales for BB applications are going down for the last few months?

BB applications or the handsets themselves. I suspect that people have been holding off purchases waiting for new devices (7130, 8700) that did not make it into the quarter. I predict (get the crystal ball out) that handset purchases will be strong this quarter with the 7100i, 7130e and 8700s all out in force).

Unless RIM gets shut down, in which case all bets are off.

Now, is that a great way to take a thread off-topic, or what?

Appreciated.

As hinted in NJBlackBerry's post, my guess would be that people aren't going to spend the $30 and up most BB apps cost when there's a chance their BlackBerrys might be left without service if the courts squash RIM.
