RIM may offer touch-screen BlackBerry
<p><strong>大意：只要客户需要，RIM公司就可能在它的黑莓手机上应用触摸屏。</strong></p><p><strong>Research In Motion may bring out a touch-screen version of its popular BlackBerry e-mail device if customers want it, according to co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie, who expects to deliver new high-speed devices soon.</strong><br/> </p><p>Balsillie declined to give details about future product plans. But when asked if RIM would bring out a touch-screen version of BlackBerry, which is well-liked for its miniature computer-like keyboard, he said it was important to be flexible to customers' demands. </p><p>"For sure we're looking at all kinds of different device packaging and presentation," Balsillie said in an interview with Reuters at the Mobile World Congress. </p><p>"I think getting religious on packaging is not the way to go," he said. "It's really user preference-oriented." </p><p>Aside from established wireless players, RIM also faces competition from rivals such as Apple's <font color="#003399">iPhone</font>, which has <font color="#003399">won praise for</font> its innovative touch-screen control. But one criticism against iPhone has been its lack of a corporate e-mail service, RIM's core strength. </p><p>Balsillie said the company would introduce devices based on HSDPA, a high-speed wireless technology that is popular in Europe and used in the United States by wireless service AT&T. </p><p>"Certainly going to HSDPA is something that's very important to us in the near term," Balsillie said. </p><p>He said that while other handset makers were focusing on expanding their relationships with consumers, RIM was happy with its strategy of selling through carriers. </p><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><newselement></newselement><newselement></newselement>
