Well if having DRM free music is as important to the slashdot crowd as it seems to be, then you'll buy a windows machine and IE you're way to DRM free music. If you don't want to get your hands dirty the the MS stuff, go to a friend's house that has windows, like the Ammish do when they want to watch MNF.
I admit I planted this story just to get the cable/telcos to hurry up with that last mile stuff. You have to shock these people into thinking that wires will be irrelevant before they can get the money back on their fiber investment.
Now start digging up the streets before I link to the article from all my ghost blogs, get it to the top of google news and bankrupt you with bits...uh...I guess I have to add...bee-atches!
I have the HTC Mogul and while it is not nearly as pretty (as far as GUI) it is very functional. The Exchange Direct Push is great. Email, calendar, contacts are all in both places, where ever I put them...no manual synching. For browsing, I use the IE Mobile for lots of sites that have mobile specific sites but the real winner is SkyFire's browser for Windows Mobile. Full site, zoom in, drag around on the screen, play flash, real audio, youtube...it all just works. If I flip the keyboard out the whole thing goes landscape. I am NOT saying it is a good as the Iphone experience. I am saying I get a lot of other things (direct push, GPS, google maps, pocket office,.Net compact framework so I can write my own apps) for a web browsing experience that is near to the Iphone experience by using SkyFire. You must get the lastest ROM from HTC. It sucks with the one that comes on the phone.
