CIO – The Case for Carrying Two Smartphones
I read this article from CIO.com and thought it might be useful to share it with my classmate. I t happens that I carry two smartphones everyday and reading this article explain practically the reason(s) why it is so important to carry them if you are one of us and forget about its awkwardness. I use one for office work – blackberry (paid for by my employer) and the second one – iPhone for personal use. The article makes a perfect sense. Please read and enjoy it.
“Are you satisfied with just one smartphone? Maybe you just haven’t given two a chance. If you’re anything like CIO.com’s mobile maestro Al Sacco, you may not only boost productivity with two devices, but improve your quality of life. Seriously.” By Al Sacco Tue, March 27, 2012
