"And being able to announce CanWest MediaWorks as our first customer who will supply news content daily for a Sona Mobile BerryCast(TM), lets RIM customers take advantage of a download-and-play method of delivering multimedia files to BlackBerry(R) devices. We believe that this application will be well-received in the marketplace." "We are very excited about being first to market with Sona," said Mario Alfano, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Strategy of CanWest MediaWork's Interactive Division.
