Blackberry's Unite

Wondering what RIM's doing next for the enterprise. I'm not very close to developments in the Blackberry arena, but this does look appealing.

UPDATE: I've had a lot of hits on this post recently through Google searches on the term 'blackberry unite'. so I looked into it. Scratching the surface this product isn't for large enterprises that need or have a Blackberry Server infrastructure, this is for family or small office environments where Blackberry Smartphones will be synced directly with personal computers. Blackberry Unite is a free download desktop application to enable this sync process.

In the mean time I notice support for Lotus Sametime (the IM solution in the IBM Lotus product suite). I think this is new.

Unite will be a free PC download that will allow groups of up to five users with mobile access to share calendars, pictures, music and documents via BlackBerry devices. The users in this Unite group will be able to modify appointments and availability as well as send reminders.
