THE STAR CAR AT BLACKBERRY WORLD

摘要

The star of the bustling solutions hall at the opening of BlackBerry World 2012 was a black police cruiser with the markings of the Chatham-Kent Police force. It was driven here from southern Ontario by Const. Ken Koke to show how the force is installing Research In Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook tablet in its cars instead of more expensive rug-gedized laptops. A small police department, Chatham-Kent is one of the few forces in the country that doesn't have a digital link in all of its cruisers. In fact, it issued BlackBerrys to 170 of its officers four years ago to bring them into the IT age.
