Now this is one of the more interesting applications I have seen for BlackBerry in quite a while.
Personal, which is the mobile unit of Telecom Argentina has signed a deal with Argentine grain cooperative Compañía Argentina de Granos which will provide nearly 4,000 Argentine grain farmers with BlackBerrys.
The devices (model numbers unavailable, will be made available to grain producers in Córdoba, Buenos Aires, La Pampa, San Luis, Santa Fe and Tucumán provinces.
And to do what, you ask?
The BlackBerrys will include a Personal-developed appliance that will allow producers to check grain prices, monitor machinery movements on their land as well as receive sanitary alerts.
Those of us who have worked on farms will especially appreciate the latter application.
