Maybe as a free addon people would use it. Other people may just find it easier to reply from their BlackBerry. If they need to open an attachment they can save it to their SD card and then just connect it to your laptop to view. Now imagine how this Constant Connect works. It will constantly be downloading all of your emails including attachments in the background. Just another battery killer. To compound that it will be transferring this information to your Constant Connect card over Bluetooth "Constantly." Yet another battery drain. Add that to the fact that bluetooth transfers of attachments can take ages (ever try sending a 4mb MP3? it takes 3-5 minutes) Now do you get where I am coming from. Oh and better yet this will be killing your BlackBerry battery while you are mobile so you will have to charge it on the go... somehow. B4Intime

Ever try to read a spreadsheet or PowerPoint on a BB? Ever been on an airplane or somewhere without signal? Or you only have Edge reception and try to send an 10M files? Do you open your laptop and sit around and wait for the file to be send or you know that your BB will send the file while you are multitasking. Believe me, I know a lot of executives that would love to have this technology (but then Lenovo?) on their laptop. Bayalink is a good solution...
