'The Message'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
have you ever done a comparison between your T5 and your iPod?
Battery charge while playing music-wise? No -- I've never bothered to load it up. In fact, I don't have a memory card, since my non-music stuff doesn't take up enough space to warrant one.
I don't want my cellphone to do everything! Just be a cellphone!!
I want a blender attachment for my cellphone so I can mix margaritas....
There's actually a company that just started releasing cellphones with exactly that in mind: they're just cell phones, old school. They can speak, they can text, that's it. I've forgotten the company, but they were mentioned on Slashdot a few weeks back.
If Apple decides to really get (back) into the PDA business (more Newton!), I'm sure they'll at least make it iTunes playlist-sync compatible, though i'm not sure they'd put in a 20 GB HD. Still, the Lifedrive shows that there's probably a market for a PDA with a Mini-sized HD, so maybe they'd go for it.
Me, I'm hoping their R&D is going into a Tablet Mac instead. Because the concept of the tablet is so freaking cool, and it's been implemented so freaking poorly, I want them to show that it can WORK.
Yeah, I really want a tablet Mac. I'm pretty sure the next PC Laptop I buy will be a tablet as long as they finally get the screens up past 1024x768.
Being able to run my acoustic modeling and analysis software with a tablet wi-fi'ed into the booth is pretty much where I want to be.
So, I promised my sister a camera for her birthday. My stipulations are that it has to be small (smaller than your average 35mm point and shoot) and that it has to use an SD card. Her stipulation was that it needed to have a zoom lens, so really, she's not demanding.
Does anyone have any specific model names to toss out for me to start researching with?
I have no idea what an SD card is, but check the Canon Elph.

Oh, that! I didn't realize it was called anything other than a "memory card."
DH just got this Nikon Coolpix, which is pocket sized, uses SD cards, and has a nicely intuitive interface.

They have different sorts of cards -- my Clie used an incompatible format.
Will go look at Elphs.
eta: Excellent, Jessica!
