Mumbia terrorists used BlackBerry, not iPhone

A couple of days ago the world witnessed one of the worst terrorist attacks of all times where over two hundred people were held hostage in the legendary Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, India and over hundreds were killed in the aftermath.

One of the interesting observation regarding this incident was the fact that the terrorists used BlackBerry smartphones to monitor the world’s response in real-time after all the cables to the hotel were cut down.

Even though iPhone was launched in India earlier in August this year, it still doesn’t seem to have become an integral part of the mobile communication system.

Blackberry still leads the market share with over twice the percentage of the iPhone and is still known to be more user-friendly and feature enrich.

Apple needs to focus more on usability then merely on eye-candy and touch effects. As the technology evolves, it will surely bring new horrors and disasters like it always has.

After all, terrorists make use of technology too.
