[edit] Overview
A Canadian company, Research In Motion (RIM), developed the Blackberry in 1999. It delivers information over the wireless data networks of mobile phone service companies. BlackBerry initially focused on a proprietary e-mail service, however RIM currently offers BlackBerry e-mail service to non-BlackBerry devices, such as the Palm Treo.
Research in Motion introduced its first BlackBerry smartphone in 2002. These newer BlackBerry devices use an ARM processor and offer PDA functionality including the ability to read eBooks from some third party providers.
