FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A BOT OF SPARE CASH, Lenovo has come up with a bit of kit that will make your BlackBerry automatically forward e-mail to your notebook.
For just $150, the Lenovo Constant Connect, which is a small ExpressCard device with 512GB of flash RAM and a Bluetooth antenna, connects the BlackBerry via Bluetooth to download any new e-mail.
The kit is has an independent power souce and sends the data to the ThinkPad e-mail client after the user turns the laptop back on.
The big idea is that a traveller get the latest e-mail without having to stop, turn on the PC and and log-in over a Wi-Fi hotspot, thus becoming an alternative to 3G services. µ

It should be 512MB of storage.
$150 is dirty cheap for a 512GB express card.
There's no chance that 512GB is correct. If it is, I'll buy 1.000 cards right now! It should be 512MB (and that changes everything actually - but this is another story).
The same mistake is done by your original source (ComputerWorld). They should be more carefull and that goes for you too.
