BlackBerries in your PalmOS PDA
PalmOS users who are also BlackBerry fans rejoice, for PalmSource has finally released details as to how and when they are planning to offer BlackBerry services in its operating system.
Through RIM’s licensing program, BlackBerry Connect, device makers using the Palm OS will be able to use software that allows their devices to access the BlackBerry service wirelessly. An e-mail client for the service, Mail for BlackBerry, will be available through PalmSource and will become a part of its regular software licensing package, according to Albert Chu, vice president of business development at PalmSource. Both pieces of software will be commercially available in the second half of the year.
