There are now two major features in Google Gmail Chat that I really wish would come to the BlackBerry. The first is group chat which I have mentioned before. The second is the new invisible mode that Google has introduced over the weekend.

I just can’t wait for this to be an acceptable excuse for anything.
“Your Honor I was on my BlackBerry. What could I do?”
Seriously this is getting old. The last one I truly remember well ended up with a $4.1 million dollar ruling for driving while BlackBerrying.

Review: SENA BlackBerry 8100 LeatherSkin CaseRating: 8/10Cost: $49.99Website: www.senacases.com
