The Fruits of Telecommunication and Smart Phone Labour: Blackberry vs IPhone

For those of us who can’t leave the office behind, the new range of smart phones for business are making it increasingly easy to be a workaholic. For telecommunications the two models are fairly evenly matched, you can make and receive calls but with these multimedia devices you’ll want to be doing a lot more than that. Both are capable of email, web browsing and of course text messaging. However the Blackberry’s original support of push email gets one up on the iPhone, which doesn’t employ an LED to notify the user he or she has a new message and requires that the owner actively check themselves. This is obviously time consuming and translates into wasted battery life.
