The Crackberry was one of the first killer applications. I'd love to see lots more. I really think we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible with mobile internet.

I have an original-of-the-species RIM Blackberry 7290 and it is a trusted friend. I however do not use it as a mobile phone as that is overkill. With Push Mail it allows me to receive direct emails, emails from the company website (and this allows for Immediate confirmation of an enquiry and I can't stress how much confidence this gives a potential customer/ client), and it pretty much has allowed me to be more productive. Simple item but I don't think I can operate without it. Tough one to narrow down but I think in my job the access to mobile email is my biggest weapon.

Every week online I can read about 3,000 neww issued patents and 7,000 new patent applications and do a constant survey on my project. I found out a huge gap in Hydrology in the patenting affairs. Heat/thermal conductivity is discussed in about 66,000 issued patents while Hydraulic conductivity in just 450 patents, but Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow (wick/wicking) in only 18 and 3 of them are mine. There is no wick/wicking in Hydrogeology literature to portray fluids moving through porosity because it is a lay people terminology.
