Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe my reflexive reaction was "What's a PDA?"

Good lord.

YOu could have at least said "What do public displays of affection have to do with anything?"

Public displays of aggression? What?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have a PDA somewhere! I got it in a bag of stuff at a garage sale...

Can an older smartphone without a contract make calls with skype?

eta: if wi-fi enabled.

Skype operates over wi fi, so if you have that, you're good. Phone or computer.

Grr. I'm trying to set up a shortcut to turning on tethering on my phone. Currently I have to fire up Apps/Settings/Wireless & Networks/Tethering & portable hotspot/Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Too long. And if I set up a shortcut to Wi-Fi, it's actually one step too deep in the wrong direction. In the previous release of Android, I could have a shortcut, but in Gingerbread, I can't work out how.

I downloaded Elixir 2, because it's supposed to let you make a shortcut to anything and everything, but same old same old--I can't work out how to go down the correct fork in the tree, just Apps/Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wi-Fi Settings.

eta: Never mind. Found QuickTeth, an app which is a shortcut to that setting page.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. It seems like you should just be able to, you know, tether.

It's just a matter of getting to it without hitting a million key. My next step is to automatically turn on a wifi hotspot under certain circumstances.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Has anyone jailbreak an AppleTV 2g? It's tempting. But it looks like I gotta boot from computer to do it every time, which would get real annoying. Just curious if I'm understanding the tethered thing right.
