August 18, 2008, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA: Barack Obama using his Blackberry after a return to the campaign trail following his week-long vacation in Hawaii. For years, Barack Obama has been among the thousands of professionals who rely on Blackberry wireless devices to keep abreast of email while on the move. On inauguration day however, it will be “lights out” for Obama’s device. Facing concerns of email security and the Presidential Records Act, which puts all presidential correspondence in the official record, Obama will be forced to sign off from his Blackbery service Ò no small feat for someone known to keep the device attached to his belt at all times.///Barack Obama checks his blackberry backstage at a campaign event at Rio Grande High School in Albuquerque, NM..
