Virtual Blackberry Solution for Windows Mobile announced

Who said that Windows Mobile is not popular? I remember the Wow when Palm introduced the first Treo running Windows Mobile a year ago. Now it's Blackberry's turn to jump on the bandwagon by offering a virtual solution that will allow Windows Mobile 6 powered devices "to benefit from the popular Blackberry software applications and services." Who will benefit most from this? It's quite obvious that RIM has more to gain than Microsoft or device manufacturers. Blackberry's form factor has not evolved much over the years, while there is a wide variety of Windows Mobile powered QWERTY phones on the market and RIM's market share is shrinking due to the versatility of these devices. The positive aspect of it all is that users will get to choose. RIM, Welcome to Windows world. Read RIM's press release.
