E-Mail Pager Popular e-mail pager to be launched in UK A handheld e-mail pager, which has been a huge hit in the US, is to be launched in Britain. The BlackBerry measures 4.5 by 3 inches and can be left switched on for 24 hours a day for a week before it needs recharging. It uses a wireless link to send and receive e-mails, enabling users to work or talk on the move. Investment bank Goldman Sachs says it's so popular in the US, it'll replace laptop computers and mobile phones. The device is made by Canadian firm, Research in Motion and among its famous owners in the US are Al Gore, the former Vice-President, and Bill Gates, the Microsoft tycoon. The most famous BlackBerry incident occurred on the night of the US presidential elections last November. Mr Gore, the Democratic candidate, was about to concede defeat when he received a message on his BlackBerry from Donna Brazile, his campaign manager, telling him: "Never surrender. It's not over yet." Mr Gore responded by ringing George W. Bush to say he was continuing to contest the result. (Ananvoa)
