Queen’s University business professor John Pliniussen is available to comment on another major U.S. group wanting to dump the Blackberry for the iPhone. The National Transportation Safety Board says it made the decision due to the unreliable nature of the Research in Motion Ltd. device.

Dr. Pliniussen is a marketing professor who specializes in technology and business innovation and has been following the RIM saga over the past few years.

Please note Dr. Pliniussen is only available until 2 pm Wednesday, November 21.
