Do I have to remind you how important is to be able to connect to the Internet no matter where you are? I guess not, but let me also tell you another thing - while it's great to be able to connect at anytime and anywhere, I also think you shouldn't be connected unless you really need to. The reason? I know a lot of people who can't remember the last day when they spent more than 20 minutes looking at the sky, thinking about past and future, and even spend some quality time with their friends. OFFLINE. Don't worry, I am not going to continue telling you how good is to get away from technology for a while, because only a chosen few can afford such a luxury. Instead, I will tell you a few things about Constant Connect, a new solution from Lenovo and RIM to keep you connected anytime, anywhere... as long as you have the right tools of the trade up and running, of course!Announced way back in February, Constant Connect is now finally available as a $149 option available from select business partners and, of course, through Lenovo.com.Just to refresh your memory, Lenovo and RIM "announced that the two companies will work together to promote new Lenovo mobile solutions that will help on-the-go business users enhance their mobile computing and communications experience through tighter integration between Lenovo ThinkPad laptop computers and BlackBerry® smartphones," but that was happening back in February, as I said a bit earlier.The Constant Connect solution allows ThinkPads to pull down BlackBerry emails as long as it's within range, even when the laptop is off. Completely off, to make it even more clear!At last, you can write email on your laptop, and send it via BlackBerry's wireless connection, a feature that's great for those times when you can't get to any WiFi hotspot or 3G access for your laptop.
