Microsoft is sniffing around the BlackBerry bush.
Next week, engineers from Microsoft's Usability Group will be observing and interviewing professionals who use Research In Motion's popular BlackBerry pagers. The pagers allow subscribers to send and receive e-mail and Internet data through a miniature keyboard and small display. Deluxe models also include Palm-like organizer functions.
"We're trying to find out how people use these mobile devices and, based on that information, try to improve the functionality of future products or those under development," said Tats Amase, a project manager with the Usability Group.
