Black Berry Internet Services

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Taiwan Mobile and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced that the highly anticipated BlackBerry® Storm™ - the first touch-screen BlackBerry® smartphone - will be available in Taiwan tomorrow. The BlackBerry Storm smartphone features the world’s first “clickable” touch-screen and delivers the renowned usability and
performance of the BlackBerry solution with powerful communications and multimedia features.



Honoured with the GSMA’s Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough award at Mobile World Congress 2009, the BlackBerry Storm smartphone’s unique SurePress™ touch-screen depresses ever so slightly when the screen is pressed, dramatically enhancing the touch interface for both typing and navigation and giving users an experience they can actually feel. The BlackBerry Storm offers a large and stunning display together with a first class phone and the industry’s leading email and messaging capabilities, as well as many other powerful features including 3G (HSPA) network support, desktop-style web pages, advanced multimedia capabilities, 3.2 megapixel camera and built-in GPS – all designed to give users a fast and intuitive mobile experience.
The BlackBerry is a smartphone that is widely used in the enterprise for its wireless email handling capability.

Other features that have made the BlackBerry popular in the enterprise include:

Superior reception.
Support for remote administration.
Message encryption.
Push email.
Built-in personal digital assistant (PDA) with an address book and personal schedule.
Can be configured for use as a pager.
Document management.
Support for multimedia and most communications modes, including Web browsing, text messaging and wireless faxing.
The BlackBerry was originally known as "LeapFrog." RIM consulted with Lexicon Branding Inc. to choose a new name. Someone at Lexicon suggested "Strawberry" because the tiny keys resembled the seeds on a strawberry. That idea was nixed, however, and "BlackBerry" was chosen as an alternative. The device is often referred to as the CrackBerry because of its compelling nature.

As of December 2008, BlackBerry subscribers numbered approximately 21 million.

North Brother Island

About North Brother Island from Wikipedia.com




North Brother Island is an island in the East River situated between the Bronx and Riker's Island. Its companion, South Brother Island, is a short distance away. The island was uninhabited until 1885, when Riverside Hospital moved there from the island now known as Roosevelt Island. Riverside Hospital was founded in the 1850s as the Smallpox Hospital to treat and isolate victims of that disease; its mission eventually expanded to other quarantinable diseases. Typhoid Mary was confined to the island for over two decades until she died there in 1938. The hospital closed shortly thereafter.
After World War II, the island housed war veterans who were students at local colleges, and their families. Once the nationwide housing shortage abated the island was abandoned again. In the 1950s a center opened to treat adolescent drug users. The facility claimed to be the first to offer treatment, rehabilitation, and education facilities to young drug offenders. By the early 1960s widespread staff corruption and patient recidivism forced the facility to close.
The island is currently abandoned and off-limits to the public. A dense forest conceals the ruined hospital buildings, but supports one of the area's largest nesting colonies of Black-crowned Night Heron.
The island was also the site of the wreck of the General Slocum which burned on June 15, 1904. Over 1,000 people died either from the fire onboard the ship or from drowning before the ship was beached on the island's shores.
Together, the two Brother Islands, North and South, have a land area of 20.12 acres (81,400 m2).
Herion addicts were confinded to this island and locked in a rooms until they were clean. Many addicts thought that they were being held against their will(as one person wrote on the wall).
