So Bono was shilling for Blackberry, while his investment firm, Elevation Partners, was buying 40% of Palm, and this followed the U2 iPod by only a few years. Seems they managed to play, and lose from every angle on the smartphone front...then again, HP bought Palm for $1Billion and Elevation Partners bought 40% for $100Million...so actually they did pretty well on that investment.
