Blackberry grows
Blackberry developer Research In Motion and mobile OS consortium Symbian have struck a deal which will allow Blackberry Connect to run on Symbian-based mobile devices. The Blackberry Connect service automatically pushes data such as email to any suitably equipped device.
The move is one of a series of partnerships agreed by RIM now that it seems the long running dispute with NTP seems to be coming to a close. Recently both Nokia and Palmsource have licensed the Blackberry technology and Symbian is a logical next step for RIM to get its wireless email adopted as an industry standard. According to mobile market analysts, Symbian had an overwhelming 94 per cent share of the mobile phone OS market leaving Microsoft with an unaccustomed four per cent.
The first Blackberry equipped Symbian devices are likely to appear at the beginning of next year.
