A product of the Canadian design firm Research in Motion, the Blackberry mobile device combines a wireless Internet platform and a media player. Applications, or "apps," are software programs that enable specialized functions, such as listening to the radio or balancing a checking account. When it was originally introduced, the Blackberry was marketed as an email platform, and, though it is more versatile than that, that is a major appeal for Blackberry owners in the business sector.
