The Additictive Business Gadget that could Ruin Christmas

Jim Riley

24th December 2008

I love mine - couldn’t do without it. But it will be firmly out of sight and out of mind on Christmas Day at least…

A fascinating article in the Times today describes the results of some market research into the habits of business people who own a Blackberry.

Shockingly, the suggests that two-thirds of UK BlackBerry users are planning to check their e-mails before joining the rest of the family around the tree on Christmas Day morning.

I admit that I’m with the 62 per cent of business travellers who, when staying in hotels on business, take their BlackBerry to bed in case an important work e-mail comes through during the night. But there’s no way I going to let my favourite gadget get in the way of a fabulous family occasion.
