New Lenovo Expresscard Syncs BlackBerrys and Thinkpad Laptops

Lenovo and RIM announced today a new ExpressCard module - the 'Lenovo Constant Connect'. This device will sync emails from your BlackBerry even if your laptop is completely turned off - using onboard memory (500MB) and a dedicated Bluetooth radio chip. It works with several email clients (such as Gmail, outlook, Exchange) but will only work on Lenovo Thinkpad laptops. 

The basic idea is that you will always have your latest email ready, even if you just opened your computer a few seconds ago. Personally I think it's a silly idea - I can wait another minute for my emails...

The card will be released in 2H 2009, and will cost 150$.
