I never thought I'd get a cellphone, but I'm a sucker for a gadget, and when I read Walt Mossberg's
review of the Danger Sidekick a couple of months ago, I knew I'd probably end up getting one. Then when Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow
said, "Jesus Christ, this is the coolest goddamned phone/PDA/cam/email/SMS/thing in the entire universe. I have a technology boner that could cut glass," it was a for-sure situation.
Unfortunately, the Sidekick's Web browser isn't Blogger-compatible—yet—but the e-mail system works astonishingly well (feel free to drop me a note at junio[AT]tmail.com). It does a whole bunch of things adequately rather than one or two things outstandingly. Just like me!
