"I’m personally not a fan of the iPhone; the battery life sucks, it is too bandwidth inefficient and the virtual keyboard is pokey and requires you stay in dictionary words, which is terrible for typing borrowed-words in other languages and swear words in my own language. The iPhone is more of a toy for entertainment value and photo management, but that role is already filled by my Nintendo DSi and my camera."
Blackberry is so bandwidth efficient [...] not exceed the allowance provided by a $25 fixed-rate international data plan. [...] iPhone [...] too bandwidth inefficient
(I think that's the purpose of Opera-mini, very much misunderstood ...)
I also have no idea what "bandwidth inefficient" means. If the iPhone uses more bandwidth than most other smartphones, it's because it's actually being used, unlike most other smartphones.
Battery life on the first model wasn't great, but I often run my 3GS for 2-3 days on a charge, which is fine by me. I'm not going to take it to the Moon, am I?
an aftermarket Samsung 256 GB SSD
I've seen a couple of sneers at those SSDs (which Apple also seems to use) as not the best performers. He may know better or just think they're good enough. (I can wait for the dust to settle.)
The only Apple product I use is their tiny USB power adapter
The one with the KindleDX looks even smaller - barely larger than a plug, my additional US-to-Euro plug adapter is about the same size. The small print says it's made by Flextronics.
P.S. I was straining my eyes to figure if the scope in the photo was a Tektronix. The text says it is.

I only travel via plane a couple times a year and mostly try to sleep, but I had no clue that some seats offered power outlets. Now I do! That could come in handy one day.
Until I clicked that link and double checked, I had assumed the same was true of nearly every plane on every carrier in general -- I mean, it's 2010 -- and the 757 I will be taking in a month in particular. It isn't. Bummer.
Do the people still complaining about this six years later not use spam filters?
I liked that bit a lot; iTunes is gigantic resource hog.
1) I use Strawberry Perl instead of Cygwin. I'm scared of Cygwin. The only Unix utility I have on my Windows XP box is wget.
2) I can't get myself to jump to widescreen Thinkpad. I like reading everything as high up on the screen as I can. I'm worried about my neck!
