Or have absolutely 0 coding experience. Munging out a signature (even now that the net is filled with aolers who have no idea what sig dashes are) is about 10 lines of C, or one of perl, or at most a couple of dozen of java. If the BB can decode video it can certainly handle a little text parsing. I wouldn't trust this snake oil for a second. “the company does the processing on their servers since the BlackBerry cannot handle it”
