BlackBerry

The all-in-one wireless data and voice device from Research in Motion, Ltd. (RIM), Waterloo, Ontario (www.blackberry.net). Available in cellphone and PDA sizes, these popular devices extend the office to the road, providing e-mail, phone, text messaging, Web browsing, organizer (calendar, addresses, tasks, etc.), as well as paging, Yahoo instant messaging and corporate data access. A raft of third-party applications is also available.

All About E-Mail
In 1999, the BlackBerry was the first wireless device that synchronized with the company mail system so that users did not require a different e-mail address when traveling. Initially set up for Microsoft Exchange, Domino and GroupWise synchronization were later added. For individuals, a BlackBerry e-mail address is also available.

     By early 2004, a million people were using BlackBerries. The number leaped to two million only 10 months later and exceeded four million by 2006. See CrackBerry and smartphone.
