- reaperducer 6y agoYour solution leaves out the primary reason for recycling the Blackberry: all-in-one simplicity. The Blackberry terminal he describes can be charged and thrown in a pocket for days or weeks. It can be used easily and comfortably on a subway, an airplane, or a restaurant. No wires or dongles or multiple pieces of kit talking to each other via the airwaves. You could also hook up an external hard drive and a couple of battery packs to a Raspberry with a bunch of wires, but it's still an inferior solution compared with an iPod.
