Nice! Now I can have 8GB of storage for all my phone numbers! Oh wait, that already fits on my 32k SIM. Nevermind.

hrm

Well a byte will store two digits or one letter. So if we need a 10 digit number that's five bytes, then we'll be generous and leave 35 characters for first and last name. That would give us 40 bytes for each phone # and name... allowing you to store two hundred million phone numbers. Wow, I've gotta run out and get me one of these!

Sigh. Now if only I had someone to call.

I can't refrain from a chuckle imagining you in the morning commute, dragging along your recordplayer and soundsystem, and listening to some good morning tunes.

I don't see your problem though: Most mobile phones use flashcards for their storage, and until now I have not yet encountered one which was protected against using any of my images/sounds/music/videos.

Maybe Elton John was a bad example :o)

No more guessing exactly what my wife told me to do...

Oh man I so badly want one of these now. Now I will have PROOF that she didn't ask me to take out the trash two hours ago.

Sadly she will now have proof of all the stupid crap that I have blurted out , and can now nag me about it without even saying anything by playing it over and over.
