As far as tech gadgets are concerned, iPhones and BlackBerry's have "all" the popularity it seems. However, in the world of small business (and consumers) Netbooks, with prices below $500 are increasingly popular.
They're small, affordable and functional - once you get used to the small screens and keyboards.
As your company is looking into what technology to invest in, consider issuing every employee that travels locally or long distance a Netbook with wireless broadband.
This new year has been several times called the year for innovation. For upgrading less than perfect products and so on. Netbooks is definitely on a rise in sales and quite possibly on it’s way to killing the sales for personal desktops and laptops which is increasingly hurting manufacturers such as dell computers.
However, there are quite a few drawback’s to these small and flashy styled netbook’s that may still make people choose their typical laptop instead.
On the other hand, I've always been a fan of Thinkpads, they look cool and are quite tough.
This leads me to let you know that Lenovo and RIM, makers of BlackBerry, are getting together to offer something really cool, boost productivity and save you some money. The next time you receive and/or send a message on your BlackBerry, if Lenovo has its way, you'll be able to wirelessly synchronize your BlackBerry and Lenovo notebook. This means that if you can't get access to a network (WiFi or other wise) you can still use the full power of your notebook to communicate via email through bluetooth synchronization of your BlackBerry and Lenovo notebook.
