    I never could understand the obsession with cell-phones. After all, it is basicly a high-tech device that requires social interaction to be useful. If I could get social interaction, I wouldn't need so many gizmos to keep me entertained.

    Is that they finally transposed the iPaq and Pocket PC logos. I have been waiting for months for somone at Hewlettcompaqard to pull their head out of their ass and fix this. Finally!! I'm off to BestBuy.

      Please disregard my previous post. I have been smoking especially potent crack. I found myself on an alien world called Bdjarneaux surrounded by little poprox eating orange worms, and /. was my only link back to reality. Thank you.

    Well, I ssh into my servers from my Kyocera 6035 all the time.

    When I go into places like Starbucks, people ask me "Dude, is that a phone, or a brick?" because it's bigger than their dinky little Motorolas. I laugh along with them, because by the time they get their double mocha frappaccinos, I've r00ted their box from my phone, and am tr0janizing their Outlook to send all their sensitive business plans to the competition, and their pr0n collections to their wives.

    Because the Palm has a shitload better UI, as well as a better life. And some of us have cellphones that need to be charged once a week, not once a day.

    I don't see why people bother with iPaqs. They're bigger, bulkier, and far less practical.
