E-mail you can't outrun
Article Abstract:
Presently, RIM's Blackberry is the market leader in wireless email devices and services. The Blackberry device itself has a screen with three inch diagonal measurement and miniature QWERTY keyboard. If left on continuously, its two AA batteries last about two weeks. It has PDA applications, but its ability to send and receive emails anywhere is its main drawing point. Lawyers, brokers and executives are adopting the Blackberry as required equipment for their work. They like being able to answer email while waiting in line, or even talking to someone else. On the other hand, it is more dangerous to use than a cell phone while driving.
