The Windows Mobile 6.0 software will offer BlackBerry email, phone, calendar, address book, tasks, memos, browser, instant messaging and other applications. Devices running the BlackBerry application suite will be able to connect to BlackBerry services via BlackBerry Enterprise Server as well as BlackBerry Internet Service. According to Mike Lazaridis, president and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. "This new software will provide a range of important benefits, including easier support of Windows Mobile-based devices within BlackBerry Enterprise Server environments, a consistent user interface for BlackBerry applications across various devices, and the ability to run third-party applications developed for the BlackBerry platform." The BlackBerry application will appear as an icon on the screen of the Windows Mobile devices in the same manner as other third-party applications. According to RIM, "Upon clicking the BlackBerry icon, a suite of BlackBerry applications will load and will feature the familiar user interface of a BlackBerry smartphone. The device's existing Windows Mobile applications are preserved, allowing the user to easily and quickly switch between the Windows Mobile applications and the BlackBerry application suite." {moscomment}
