We've been talking about it in here

But it makes sense to have the thread in the tour forum, I think?

I do believe this is a blackberry only app, but maybe I'm wrong?

Blackberry App- Will they broadcast concerts?

Seems like an interesting possibility. Maybe they will put some recorded concert feeds up there or even broadcast a live feed for some of the concerts. Heck, why not even charge like $10-15 a night to get the live feed through the Blackberry app. Would be awesome since theoretically the feed would be crystal clear. Why don't they do this? It doesn't jeopardize ticket sales since for the most part the NA tour is sold out. U2 loves technology and this would seem like a progressive move that could change the concert landscape for the future for all bands. Would also sell more Blackberry's for RIMM.

so did the app do anything during the show?

 

[ahittle]

At Chicago II, Bono started to mention something about people calling him up, then scratched it and just had folks wave their phones around.

 

[EdgeVox]

as an Apple fanatic I was dismayed to have learned of the Blackberry Loves U2 shenanigans and aside from the "They gave us access to their labs" Bono comment I had no idea what happened between Apple & U2. This is the first article to give SOME kind of insight, even though it is hearsay. (I doubt very much Jobs would pull that "Gimme your album for 2 months" bullshit)
