Well… I’m sad there is no [...]

I have always been very interested in mobile computing. I think it stems from my early years of Franklin Covey daytimers… then the old black and white PDA, then the PocketPC and now my blackberry. I use my blackberry for everything… including watching some movies in the airplane on my way out… so… [...]
