According to research from Ipsos Reid, the typical BlackBerry® smartphone user converts one hour of downtime into productive time per day (Ipsos Reid 2007). On Father’s Day this year, that means an extra hour of fun for the whole family.
 
So what are six things you can do with an extra 60 minutes this Father’s Day?
1.    GPS:Don’t waste time lost in traffic, taking a wrong turn or looking for a restaurant. With built-in GPS capabilities, and BlackBerry® Maps, you get turn-by-turn directions, so you can pinpoint where you are right now and where you need to be for dad’s day out.
 
2.    Viigo: Is your dad refusing to leave the house before seeing the news? By downloading the free application Viigo on his BlackBerry smartphone, dad can leave the house without worrying about missing out on breaking news, entertainment, sports, finance, weather, flight schedules, restaurant reviews, games, local attractions and more.
 
3.    Weather updates: Want to go to the beach or the park to celebrate Father’s Day, but don’t want dad to melt in the heat? Plan any outdoor weekend activities for the coolest day and ahead of time with BlackBerry weather updates and five-day forecasts.
 
4.    Camera: With a BlackBerry smartphone, dad is just a click away from capturing precious moments and sharing photographs or videos with your distant family members via e-mail, Facebook® or BlackBerry messenger. Don’t forget to use his BlackBerry smartphone this Father’s Day to take photographs and videos of the family having fun, which he can also save as his wallpaper.
 
5.    Multimedia: Is your dad a frequent traveler? Surprise him on his next business trip by uploading his favorite movie, documentary, or podcast to his BlackBerry smartphone. Transferring files from your computer to the device is a breeze – simply drag and drop, whether it's a video, picture, audio file or music. You can save directly to your smartphone, or put the media files on the smartphone's memory card. You and your dad can also enjoy Father’s Day by listening to any music on his BlackBerry on your home entertainment system through the BlackBerry® Remote Stereo Gateway.
 
6.    Recipes on the go: Need a last minute present? Pamper your dad with breakfast in bed or make his favorite meal. Access thousands of recipes available online with your BlackBerry smartphone, while you duck into the supermarket for ingredients. You can also choose how you navigate websites, either in full desktop style HTML layout or the mobile version content.
 
The BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000, BlackBerry® Storm™ or BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 smartphones are the ultimate gifts for those who want to give their father an extra hour every day.
