Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So the Pearl says it has a media player - does that mean anything like being able to watch downloaded teevee and such? presuming I got a beefy enough memory card?

Yep, as long as the files are in the following formats: AVI, MP4, MOV, or 3GP. You can also listen to music in the MP3, AAC, MIDI, and WAV formats.

The Pearl uses a MicroSD card. The slot's located behind the battery, which could be somewhat annoying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Really dumb question-- does Flickr work in such a way that if I email someone a link to my photos, they will see them? That is, does everyone else see horrible photos of boys in suits when they click here:

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Boys in suits, yes.

Thanks! Don't want to look dumb.

cool.

Any preferences on the Palm software vs. the BB? Pretty functionally the same?

For the most part. You can do a bit more with the Palm software, but I've found it's not really necessary. There also seems to be more add-on software out there, but BB is not far behind. I have noticed that my Treo tends to encounter fatal exceptions that cause it to reboot on a fairly regular basis. It's no more or less buggy than a Palm PDA would be.

I would like to see a BB with a touch screen, though. The click wheel is handy, but not quite the same.

Edit: Hand is not the same as handy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't know yet, but-- at some point he is wearing a barbeque apron, however!

Sophia, if you go here [link] and click on King Lear Performance (under Photo Albums) the first pic will show you why I laughed.
