My customers rely on our knowledge of the current software out there and showing them the latest in technology. I can see a lot of potential with this, and I would definitely put it to use. From medical documents, office documents, permissions, quick communication, and since the majority of my customers are military and business customers, this would be perfect to help benefit them as well.

Time was of the essence as my co-workers and I were preparing for another important conference call. I then remembered that instead of running all the way to the copier and back and possibly getting into trouble with the boss, I pulled out my BlackBerry Pearl and took pictures of all the notes in about a minute! I was able to then print out the Memos and Directives after work when I finally got the chance! Same goes for the 2nd conference call! This definitely was a lifesaver as I didn't need to spend too many precious minutes hunting down an unused copier or the embarrassment of asking my boss for copies!

There are always numerous paper postings and flyers tacked on the school bulletin board-- anything from available services, school happenings, upcoming events, PTA events, lunch menus, and the like. Unfortunately, I need to rush off to the office soon after dropping them off in the mornings, I don't have enough time to read everything, so I either end up doing a quick scan to pick and choose those items that are of interest and hurriedly entering them into my Blackberry or snap a quick photo of things that are just too lengthy to type and hope to be able to transcribe them later when I have downtime into my notes or turn them into calendar entries or tasks. Then I would pass along items of particular interest via email to the other parents of my sons' fellow classmates to try to coordinate groups outings, etc... To be able to snap a photo and have it converted for storage or for later review and sharing with the other parents would definitely shorten the time it takes to transcribe and distribute and, at the same time, give other busy parents time enough to review and respond. Another great use I envision for this service would be to make copies of any paperwork relevant to the kids' daily lives (health records, progress reports, permission slips) just to have available on my Blackberry for instant reference should I get the surprise call from the principal's office. It would be a tremendous help in this area of my life. Most of the other parts of my life are nearing paperless. One of the the few exceptions is elementary school here, which still mostly thrives in the world of paper and forms and the practice of sending notices home with the kids to be signed and returned. This said, I just downloaded the trial and am going to see how much it can help with this facet of my daily life. Cheers!
