Research in Motion used the CTIA Wireless 2003 spotlight on Monday to formally unveil its 'BlackBerry Connect' licensing program and immediately announced deals to open its wireless e-mail gateway to the Symbian and Microsoft operating systems.
RIM also scored a deal with Taiwan-based High Tech Computer (HTC), a leading OEM for Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC and Smartphone products, including Hewlett-Packard's iPAQ line.
The Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM, known mostly for its e-mail pager device, said the 'BlackBerry Connect' licensing program clears the way for rival mobile devices to connect to its BlackBerry Enterprise Server using a push-based wireless architecture and infrastructure.
