I do not think many young people are into Black Berrys, so not too sure if this will sell with kids, but, maybe kids can teach pop or grandpa, grandma, how to download music, from way back in the 1950s? 1940s? This is what my little nephews in Mexico City do, they teach my old, old uncle about the internet and what does he do? He sends me pictures of beautiful cities all around the world, that some other old guy must be sending him, so he just can not wait to show off that he knows how to use email?? We have to love our older uncles and aunts, maybe they will like this music stuff on BB??
