If your game take advantage of people knowing Apple and Blackberry (for example, in your game, you use Apple logo to attack blackberry logo), you are infringing.

If you make a game "Palm Up" in which Palm fly up into the sky, you are infringing.

It is very simple....if your product sells by using people's association with the name of an established product, you are infringing their trademark.

If your game has the fruit apple and fruit blackberry, you are not infringing.

If you use "Double Jeopardy" and it is related to the game show Jeopardy, you are infringing. If you use "You are in Jeopardy" and it is related to the game show Jeopardy, you are infringing.

Seriously, you have a lot of misunderstanding about IP.
