From the rumor mill: BGR is reporting that RIM is set to make a major announcement Tuesday at MWC in Barcelona. According to Boy Genius’ sources, RIM will launch “BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express,” a free and unlimited new version of their BES Enterprise Server service. Earlier this week, an update from Brightpoint’s twitter account also alerted folks to look out for a big announcement from RIM at MWC.<\/p>\n
The idea here seems to be that RIM will start offering Enterprise-grade services to BIS (Individual, non-Enterprise) customers. In essence this would eliminate the need for most (all? can’t be all?) BBerry users to pay extra for a BES data plan. Any of you who’ve recently signed up for BlackBerry data service know that Individual BIS data runs a good 20 bucks or so cheaper each month than an Enterprise-grade BES plan.<\/p>\n
There may be more to Tuesday’s rumored announcement, as well. One possibility is a BlackBerry Shield-type service for BIS users. The new service would reside in the cloud and offer security features like syncing, remote wipe, wireless backups, and so on. A move like this would clearly be aimed at enticing small business owners\/users into the BlackBerry fold by offering Enterprise-grade security at no additional cost. RIM needs some unique value-add propositions of this sort to try to gain back some of the market share they’ve recently been losing to the likes of Apple and Google.<\/p>\n
Finally getting that new Webkit-based browser onto BlackBerry devices wouldn’t hurt, either.<\/p>\n
