iPOD

I've got an ipod. Well actually my wife claims it's her ipod although she's never used it. When we bought her RAV-4 last year they threw in an ipod for free. Or you might say we bought a $22,000 ipod and they threw in the RAV-4. Either way I now have an ipod to listen to while exercising.

This is the neatest gadget. I don't know how I got along without it before this. I told Lynne I think I ought to get and iphone or the equivalent, with all the bells and whistles like GPS, camera, internet capability, built-in keyboard for texting, etc. I could probably entertain myself forever just figuring out how to use it. I'm sure there's a cost associated with all that functionality, but what the hell, you only live once and then you're kids get to buy themselves an iphone with your money. That doesn't make sense, does it?

Any suggestions on what I should get? iphone, blackberry, storm, etc.?

  1. Funny, I was looking into this exact same thing earlier today.

    iPhone is the king of mobile phone gizmo's at the moment. Tons of user-created aplications available for download which will give you plenty of more time to waste figuring things out.

    The second best option is probably the G1 phone from T-mobile. It uses the Google mobile OS (called Android). It's not as popular as the iPhone yet, but I expect it to grow rapidly and end up bigger. The OS is open-source, which lends itself to rapid growth and development.

    Blackberrys are nice, but not as flexible as the G1 or iPhone.
