If you are an attorney with a BlackBerry, you have a GPS!
In the hands of an attorney, PDAs like BlackBerrys are money makers. They convert downtime into productive time, improve responsiveness to clients and make capturing billable time easier and faster. Ipsos-Reid, one of the top 10 research firms in the world, reported that surveyed firms averaged 53 minutes per day of recovered productive time using mobile devices like the BlackBerry–almost an hour per day per fee earner! Their small cost and high value make them a sound investment even with the uncertainties regarding patent issues. I expect BlackBerrys to be around for a long time. Now there is even more added value for this productivity-increasing device.
Andy Bailey, the blackberry guy sent me the following intruiging notice about TeleNav, a next-generation GPS navigation system that works directly on your BlackBerry.
Telenav - GPS Navigation—Free for 30 days to try it out:
Here’s how it works:
First you call TeleNav and dictate your destination, or type it in on the phone keypad. Then start TeleNav and receive timely directions. After you tell it where you want to go, TeleNav gives you detailed information regarding your trip including:
Your current street
The street you are turning to
The distance to your next turn
The number of miles and minutes left on your trip
Your compass heading with speed
And of course, these turn-by-turn directions will be displayed on the phone screen and audibly announced. Sometimes you may miss a turn, but don't worry, TeleNav will automatically find another way to get you to your destination.
The trial period is 30 days. After the 30 days, if you do not disconnect the service, it is billed to your cellular account at $9.99 monthly.
If you would like to have the TeleNav GPS system loaded on your BlackBerry or to get a BlackBerry with the program already loaded, you can contact Andy Bailey at NationLink Wireless. Call 615/567-2224 or email info@BlackBerryguy.com.
