If an iPhone user wanted to have ability to remote wipe their phone, back up their iPhone over the air, and the like, they have to pay $99 a year for MobileMe. But according to RIM, if you’re a BlackBerry user, you can get all this and more with BlackBerry Protect that RIM announced today. Here’s what the product does:
BlackBerry Protect allows you the ability to wirelessly backup, restore and locate your BlackBerry® smartphone. In the event that your BlackBerry smartphone is misplaced, lost or stolen, BlackBerry Protect provides features like: remote device wipe, remote device lock, ‘Lost and Found’ screen, locate device on a map, remote activation of the BlackBerry smartphone loud ringer, and wireless device backup and restore.
Here’s the best part, it’s free. It’s currently in a closed beta but it will be available in an open beta for all to try later this year.
So let me ask the question. Now that this exists (or at least is on its way) for BlackBerry, precisely what incentive do I have to pay for a iPhone and MobileMe on top of that?
