Is it a PDA? Is it a phone? Look! It’s the Blackberry! The Blackberry is the ultimate PDA and cell phone in one. The sensible, efficient all-in-one communication solution for today’s businessperson! These days, most of us carry a cell phone around. If you’re a busy professional, you simply cannot live without your cell phone (at least work-wise). The cell phone has become our lifeline to the world around us, enabling us to communicate with distant contacts at almost any time and place. Most cell phones come with some very basic computer-like capabilities such as a phone book, a calendar, a calculator and even games. Yet as they have no mouse or keyboard, and with a small screen and just rudimental applications installed, today’s cell phones hardly replace the functions of a PDA. PDA’s specialize in the more advanced computer applications. Most PDA’s offer you control of your calendar and contact book, along with more sophisticated word-processing, data sheets applications and more. As handheld, mini-sized computers, they are customizable and you can easily install and uninstall your software – a flexibility lacking in your average cell phone. So, the busy professional or businessperson, looking for both a top of the range cell phone, as well as a PDA, had to carry two devices with her. Until the Blackberry revolution that is. Merging the cell phone and the PDA just made sense, as the founders of the Canadian company RIM were quick to realize. The engineers and developers of RIM (Research In Motion) came up with a handy little connectivity solution, which soon became the ultimate gadget of the new millennium. New models of the Blackberry keep RIM at the front line of PDA-and-Cell-Phone-in-one communication solutions.
