RIM’s once widely accepted BlackBerry smartphones face another setback. The U.S National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration revealed that it would now supply its employees with iPhones, replacing the BlackBerry devices, reports Times Of India. BlackBerry is known for its secure features, however, Joe Klimavicz, NOAA's Chief Information Officer says that iPhones could be securely integrated into the agency’s information systems for a lesser price than the Blackberry server that NOAA uses. Around 3,000 BlackBerry devices are issued among its 13,000 employees and about 7,000 contractors. He also adds that it would be too early to comment on how iPhones and iPads will be used.
