RIM says 4G is important for the success of Blackberry 10
CANADIAN SMARTPHONE MAKER Research in Motion (RIM) has said that uptake of 4G will be vital to the success of its Blackberry 10 operating system and next generation devices.
Speaking at the Westminster Eforum event on Friday, the firm's SVP of sales Bob El-Hawary said that businesses now expect to be able to do things on their phone like they can on a computer, and that 4G will be central to delivering these capabilities.
"4G helps us keep up with the standard people are expecting. We believe it will help us embark on a new era of mobile computing. It's not just about voice now but apps; it really is mobile computing," he said.
