Research In Motion (RIM) is planning to enable BlackBerry connectivity for mobile devices based on the Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC and Smartphone platforms. RIM will provide a solution to help mobile device manufacturers and mobile operators easily integrate BlackBerry e-mail and data services into their Pocket PC and Smartphone products. RIM has introduced its "BlackBerry Connect" licensing program that enables mobile device manufacturers to equip their handsets with the reliable, proven, secure, push-based BlackBerry wireless data experience. The BlackBerry architecture supports enterprise requirements including back-end integration, end-to-end security and push-based wireless applications. Thousands of organisations across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific already use BlackBerry with expansion beginning in Latin America. For more information, visit www.rim.net or www.blackberry.com
