Future of RIM (Blackberry)

PeterWalk

Research In Motion, also known as the company who does anything and everything blackberry related, is trying to get back into the smartphone game with its new line of phones. There are five new devices coming out, but to the general public eye, it’s basically two revamped models. First is the blackberry bold, which is your typical blackberry, big screen followed by a keyboard below. The difference is that the bold will have a touchscreen this time, which is a nice improvement over the ball technology. I believe touchscreens are easier to utilize and they can be used by everyone, even your kids. The next line is the blackberry torch, which is essentially a touchscreen phone which has a slide out keyboard for easier use of email and texting.

Both of these phones look really promising, as both have blackberry 7’s operating system, which offers an improved browser, voice activated searches and more apps, which is always a good thing. Although, the blackberry app market is still less than the android and Apple markets, they still have a lot of the same apps. Plus, who really needs some of these apps anyway, which are two of the same thing sometimes, or are just stupid. Plus, these phones are coming out on AT&T’s new 4g network, and these will be some of the first ones, although it does lag behind the Motorola Atrix, the HP veer, and the HTC Inspire, these phones should help RIM gain at least some traction back in the smartphone market.

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
