All-in-one multimedia center
Previously, many people hesitated to buy a BlackBerry due to the lack of mul-
timedia functions. They wanted a camera and audio and full video playback.
BlackBerry Storm has changed all that and has more features than you may
expect. Not only does Storm have a high-resolution camera — 3.2 megapixels,
to be exact — but it also has a memory slot for a microSD card (see Chapter 2).
What does that mean? Well, it means your BlackBerry can function as the
following:
✓ A music and video player that support all the common file formats
✓ A portable flash drive
✓ Your personal photo collection
On top of all that, Storm offers a touch-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard.
Internet at your fingertips
Yup, with the new BlackBerry Web browser on Storm, you can surf the
Net nearly as smoothly as you do on a desktop computer. Even better,
you can continue chatting with your friends through Instant Messenger,
just as though you never left your office. You'll get an alert when your
stock is tanking. True, that isn't fun, but you want this information as fast
as possible.
Intrigued? Read how Storm can take full advantage of the Web in Chapter 10.
Me and my great personal assistant
You might be saying, "But I'm really a busy person, and I don't have time to
browse the Web. What I do need is an assistant to help me better organize
my day-to-day tasks." If you can afford a personal assistant, by all means go
ahead and hire one. The next best thing is a personal digital assistant (PDA).
Just as people come in many flavors, so do many PDAs.
Whip out that BlackBerry of yours and take a closer look. That's right, your
BlackBerry is also a full-fledged PDA, helping you be more productive and
much more:
✓ Remember all your acquaintances (see Chapter 4)
✓ Manage your appointments (Chapter 5)
✓ Set alarms and keep your passwords (Chapter 6)
