Good lord, we really are a "get it reguardless if we can afford it" nation nowadays.

Credit credit credit! No wonder we're all broke!

Edit: I didn't read the story. I was too busy manually inspecting my large intestine

Did you read the article? It said nothing about "Credit credit credit!"

That article was a crock of shit.

When it can interface with my office's exchange server and handle calls, then I might consider asking.

>> When it can interface with my office's exchange server

Speaking of which how does it's Safari browser handle MS Exchange's webpage client? I haven't seen anyone report on exactly how well that goes.

P.S. I believe c.to that the article was about RATIONALIZING to your company's bean-counters about purchasing it. Although I could see it actually working for some IT techs if they've got a lot of turf to cover and they have good web tools for their network. Especially with the VPN capability. Anytime you can convince accounting that you'll end up working in your off-hours it usually greases the sale.

if you can't afford an iPod, don't buy one. But it's really not that much.. .. what 3-400 dollars or so? Considering the price of Gas, food, etc ... it's nothing.

So, a humorous article is too hard for folks here to understand.
Hey, when you get your head out of your a$$, go back and read it. It appears the authors tongue was firmly in his cheek.

Idiots.
