I have a cell phone - it works. I have a van stereo, a hand-crank radio, and a battered acoustic guitar. I have been using desktop computers when I browse/email/publish, etc. - but I'm going to break down and get a wifi'd laptop. I don't want clutter in my zone - either physical or cerebral. iPhone just came to Canada, but, the cellular plans here suck. I just have a slightly different path, that's all.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Urban Vandwellerurban vandwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537100746328669085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494059002534751.post-4971193627289014102008-07-30T15:19:00.000-07:002008-07-30T15:19:00.000-07:00I actually have a lot of gizmos in my car. I have ...I actually have a lot of gizmos in my car. I have a surround sound stereo system. I've got lots of movies, purchased and rented, which I can watch on my movie player. It hooks up into my surround sound system and plugs into my car battery for power if needed. I have quite a few books. I've got one of the best cell phones. Got a computer for browsing the web or checking/replying to email. I've got a gps mapping system which prevents me from getting lost. And much much more...<BR/><BR/>Infact, all this stuff is in one device that fits in my pocket. It's called the iPhone. Audiobooks, movies, podcasts, cellphone, web browser, facebook, email, games, radio, ebooks, music, plugs into my stereo for surround sound and charge and same time, gps with mapping, and more.. <BR/><BR/>I try not to get attached to materialistic things - but the iPhone and my Honda Element are two items I'm attached to!rishiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659273693755676696noreply@blogger.com
