Multimedia
Both BlackBerry and WM6 could use some improvement in this category, such as providing the ability to play Flash video files found online. What both operating systems can do is play various audio and video files, including MP3, AAC, and WMA for music and MP-4 and WMV for video. Each platform has its own media software: BlackBerry has its Desktop Media Manager (powered by Roxio), and WM6 uses Windows Media Player.
Each app lets you rip music CDs and convert and transfer music and video files from your PC to your handset. Searching for audio and video files on a BlackBerry is easy, thanks to a Find field at the top of each media subfolder. WM6 offers a File Explorer tool for sifting through your stored files. We like the drag-and-drop interface of Blackberry’s desktop software, but Windows Media Player has the edge because of its support for Windows Media Center, as well as for its support for DRM-protected files purchased from online music and video stores.

| Although BlackBerry is catching up quickly, the tight integration of Windows Mobile and Windows Media Player Mobile put WM6 on top. |
