BlackBerry Unite makes for Better Acquaintance’s
BerryReview had quite an interesting article the other day, I am still trying to play catchup this week as we put the final touches on our latest project aimed at every student on this planet but more about that in the weeks to come.
Research In Motion came out with a software solution called BlackBerry Unite which is on the Bell Canada network, which allows up to 5 BlackBerry users to share information on a PC. The details of the press release can be found below but for small groups of people this could be a very exciting idea.
Press release details:
BlackBerry Unite! software will allow groups of up to five BlackBerry
smartphone users to:
- Stay connected with wireless access to email - Enables easy, wireless
access to up to 10 supported email accounts (per user) with advanced
