Redfly now turns BlackBerry’s into netbooks, kinda

Redfly makes a small, instant on netbook-size device that brings your small phone screen to a bigger screen complete with larger keyboard. Redfly has worked with Windows Mobile phones for some time and now the company announces BlackBerry support. For users that needs more than the small keyboard and screen a phone offers, this could be a life-saver.

Available in both 7″ and 8″ models, the Redfly connects to your WinMo or BB smartphone allowing you to bang out emails even faster. Browsing the web is also possible, though reviewers were not so happy with the results. Redfly can be used with the BlackBerry Bold 9000, BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Tour 9630.

We’d suggest this device for those who travel often and could use just a little more space. We’d love the device to be a lot thinner (think Macbook Air thin) a bigger keyboard and a bit more upscale look. If you are going after business class, you can’t look like economy. That’s just my opinion though.

There is a contingent that believes this is the wave of the future. Palm thought this but was ahead of the curve and pulled the program before launching. As our phones become more powerful and capable, connecting to them seems logical. To get on the wave, you’ll need $200 or $250 for the 7″ and 8″ respectively. Or you can try to win one from Crackberry here.
