Blackberry india:
The BlackBerry is a line of wireless handheld devices and services designed and
marketed by BlackBerry Limited, formerly known as Research In Motion Limited
(RIM).[2]
The first BlackBerry device, an email pager, was released in 1999.[3]
The
most recent BlackBerry devices are the Z30, Z10,Q10 and Q5. The Z10 and Q10
were announced on January 30, 2013, and the Q5 was announced on May 14, 2013.
The user interface varies by model; most had featured a
physical QWERTY keyboard, while newer generations have relied on a multi-
touch screen and virtual keyboard.
BlackBerry devices can shoot video, take photos and play music; these devices also
provide essentials such as web-browsing, email messaging, instant messaging, and
the proprietary BlackBerry Messenger.
BlackBerry accounts for 3% of mobile device sales worldwide in 2011, making its
manufacturer the sixth most popular device maker (25% of mobile device sales are
smartphones).[4]
The consumer BlackBerry Internet Service is available in 91
countries worldwide on over 500 mobile service operators using various mobile
technologies.[5]
As of September 2012, there were eighty million subscribers
worldwide to BlackBerry.[6][7]
In 2011 the Caribbean and Latin America had the
highest penetrations of BlackBerry smartphones worldwide, with up to about 45 per
cent in the region having a BlackBerry device.[8]
BlackBerry was widely referred to as
"CrackBerry" in the United States, which alluded to its excessive use by its owners
and is a reference to the addictiveness of crack cocaine. Use of the term CrackBerry
became so widespread that in November 2006 Webster's New World College
Dictionary named "crackberry" the "New Word of the Year
The advanced encryption capabilities of the BlackBerry Smartphone make it eligible
for use by government agencies and state forces alike.
5. President Barack Obama[edit]
The President of the United States, Barack Obama, became known for his
dependence on a BlackBerry device for communication during his 2008 presidential
campaign. Despite the security issues, he insisted on using it even after
inauguration.[60]
This was seen by some as akin to a "celebrity endorsement," which
marketing experts have estimated to be worth between $25 and $50 million.[61]
Use by government forces[edit]
An example is the West Yorkshire Police, which has allowed the increase in the
presence of police officers along the streets and a reduction in public spending,
given that each officer could perform the work desk directly via the mobile
device,[62]
as well as in several other areas and situations.[63]
The US Federal
Government and Department of Defense are also prominent examples of BlackBerry
device users, the latter agency even stating that the BlackBerry smartphone is
"essential for national security"[citation needed]
because of the large number of
BlackBerry users in the government. The high encryption standard of BlackBerry
smartphones and the PlayBook tablet allow them to be the only consumer handheld
devices certified for use by US Government agencies.
Use by transportation staff[edit]
In the United Kingdom, South West Trains and Northern Rail have issued BlackBerry
devices to guards in order to improve the communication between control, guards
and passengers.[64][65]
In Canada, Toronto and many other municipalities within Canada have issued
BlackBerry devices to most of its employees including but not limited to
transportation, technical, water and operations inspection staff and all management
staff in order to improve the communication between contracted construction
companies, its winter maintenance operations and to assist and successfully
organize multi-million dollar contracts. The devices are the standard mobile device to
receive e-mail redirected from GroupWise. The City's e-mail environment is currently
set up to support "ONLY" BlackBerry devices. Devices from Palm Treo, Nokia and
others, including so-called "BlackBerry Connect" devices, are not approved for City
use because of security, licensing, support and/or integration issues.
In India, traffic police in the southern Indian city of Bangalore have begun using
BlackBerry devices to print e-receipt or e-challan for traffic offenses.[66]
They are also
used to upload the details of booked cases and to retrieve auto and driver license
information.[66]
