Picture 2.pngI don’t use a Blackberry, although I have had several review units for a while over the last year or so. For me, web browsing is important and the Blackberry browser, even on the latest units, is incredibly primitive for such a sophisticated machine. Thus I haven’t followed reading on the phone very closely. (For those who are interested the best browsing experience is undoubtedly the iPhone, followed closely by the Web Kit Safari-based browsers on the Nokia N and E series phones. The new Bolt browser, currently in advanced beta, is another real competitor and is available for most mobile phones. Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile is laughable and not even in the running.)

jkOnTheRun now has a video of the soon to be released eReader for the Blackberry platform. “The lack of an eReader version that worked on my BlackBerry Storm threatened to prevent my adoption of the phone for everyday use. The folks at Fictionwise couldn’t let that happen and provided an early copy of the beta for the BlackBerry. I’ve been using it for a few days on the Storm and wanted to show how it looks and works on the phone. The public beta version for the BlackBerry will be released any day now so keep checking with eReader for word. Of course, we’ll let you know too.”
