I’m imagining Kristen doing kick-ass Maggie Q moves right now, while holding her iPhone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whenever I'm anywhere touristy, I'm amazed at the number of people who walk around holding their iPads up to take video. I suppose it's no odder than holding up your phone, but it looks about a thousand times awkwarder.

Even if you don't have a Virgin Mobile store, you can see available phones in other stores. I pretty much narrowed it down to two or three and then irritated other stores by going in, touching the phones, and not buying them.
That's actually how I ended up with Virgin. My favorite phone at the AT&T store was the Blackberry (and I still prefer having an actual keyboard) that turned out to be one of the Virgin options. Since Virgin was so much cheaper, even with buying the phone, there was no contest.
Of course, I've never cared to explore apps and pretty much only use the phone for email, texting, and facebook/twitter. The only thing I don't like about my phone is the camera, but that's a BlackBerry issue, not Virgin.
Also, I'll note that the Virgin plans don't have the same crazy taxes that contract plans seem to have (except sales tax, I think) so my $35 plan is only $37 or so.

My phone camera is super crappy even though it's supposed to be good. I just take a million pics and hope one ends up in focus.

I use a lot of apps for work so I've probably got at least $500 spent on apps and I wouldn't be surprised to find out its even more. Some of the audio apps can be quite expensive.

Oh, ND! So we have an awesome donor who totally just converted us to ProTools. I foresee the big giant learning curve approaching rapidly. Would you be open to some questions from the SO and I as we get settled in?

Of course! Ask away. I have upgraded two of my machines to Pro Tools 10 and will be recording directly to Pro Tools for a film for most of the next 2.5 weeks.

Great, thank you! The studio where he's recording next week is Pro Tools, of course, so he's hoping to do some watching and learning when he's not tracking himself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Randomly enough, one of the nurses this morning asked me for Android tablet shopping advice, By the time we'd noodled through what he was looking for, and what he liked, I think t it was the latest Transformer for him.
