Blackberrys to Sprout in Taiwan
Taiwan Mobile has announced they will start providing Research in Motion's Blackberry email service, and handsets as of next month. Previously RIM had encountered difficulty with Chinese text input and thus had yet to crack the Taiwanese market. They seem to have sorted out their difficulties and this year have entered the two largest Chinese speaking markets. Luckily for RIM their handsets won't have to compete with state telecom developed "Redberry" knock-offs in Taiwan.
It remains to be seen whether or not the units will prove popular in Taiwan's exceptionally competitive, and 'cool' driven handset market.
