An article at silicon.com discusses whether mobile devices rather than being a positive benefit in your life are actually bad for your work/life balance. I guess that this depends on how you deal with it. I have auto on/off set on my device which helps but I have also started leaving my BlackBerry at home when I am out with the family and only taking a personal phone. This is better for all concerned.

However, looking at the early results from our mobile working survey it seems that one of the strongest outcomes recorded by those that are doing some form of non-email related mobile working is an improved work/life balance. Maybe the biggest gain in this area is when you do more with the device than simply email. That will come out as the survey progresses and we analyse the results.
