“You’ll have half the participants BlackBerrying each other as a
submeeting, with a running commentary on the primary meeting,” Mr.

about the proceedings, but most insisted that they used smartphones for
legitimate reasons: responding to deadline requests, plumbing the Web
for data to illuminate an issue under discussion or simply taking notes. — Alex Williams, New York Times
