Laptop or handheld

As handheld devices become more like full-fledged computers in their own right, the question of whether business travelers might be better served by leaving their laptops at home is again being asked by IT managers and end users alike. But that still appears to be more of a future goal than a current reality.

Relying solely on a handheld hasn't been a realistic option for most road warriors. However, analysts at firms such as Gartner Inc. have predicted that the day will soon come when it is, and Apple Inc.'s release of the iPhone 3G last month has reinvigorated the laptop vs. handheld debate. For Seppo Beumers, an applications manager at Genzyme Corp.'s European operations in Amsterdam, the idea of putting all the apps needed by his users on a handheld is no longer theoretical. More than two years ago, Beumers began adding client contact management software and other sales tools to the BlackBerry handhelds carried by Genzyme's 150-plus pharmaceutical and medical-device sales reps in Europe.
