Two-Way Pagers
The lion’s share of the two-way pager market belongs to Motorola and RIM. Each has devices that have expanded beyond simple messaging systems to take on PDA functions such as PIMs, larger screens, mini-keyboards, and most recently e-mail and Web access. These devices are part of systems that have great coverage throughout the United States and boast long battery life (weeks instead of hours or days). Most importantly, they provide instant, live access to facilitate real-time information. For timely data, or message-based learning delivery models, this platform holds significant potential. The RIM Blackberry is pulling ahead in this category and has added full cellular access to many of their latest devices.
