For all you road warriors who have been wondering about this since its initial announcement in February, Lenovo Constant Connect is here and available for purchase. Now you can get your Blackberry emails synced with your laptop automatically - even when the laptop is off.The Constant Connect ExpressCard is a 54mm ExpressCard addition now available on select ThinkPads. It's designed to help you synchronize your Blackberry Emails with your laptop. The device works by means of a Bluetooth radio with a range of up to 30 feet, and features 500MB of storage. You'll need a BlackBerry running RIM OS v4.2 or higher.Possibly the most interesting thing about the technology is that, as mentioned above, it works even if your laptop is powered off. That means that you can tell your laptop to send an Email when you're on the road or in the air and lacking WiFi, and even if you've shut down your laptop your Blackberry will send your Email for you as soon as it connects. This could be a very useful tools for business users who are constantly on the road. It's currently only available in the US and sells for about $150 on Lenovo.
