yeah...  that is all I really can say about this.   I love mobile tech, but I think there is a line somewhere *nod* back that way.

I've always been a DELL guy as far as PC's, but when my DELL goes down (God forbid) I will be looking hard at an APPLE MacBook Pro.  I've heard nothing, but good about it and the Mac OS X operating system, which is now Windows compatible!

A buddy of mine works for Apple and I saw one up close. It's awsome! There is only one burron on it, the mute button!  HAH!

I should stop by Apple on the way home from work (I drive by their campus every day) and ask to have a look...though, they'll probably kick me out...LOL   :-\

LMAO!  Give us a report!  You can pre-order them through Cingular right now and I just got on the list.   ;D

I was getting ready to buy the BlackJack, but I may have to sit on this decision until the reviews come out.

Really nice device. At $499 it's reasonably priced for what it can do. But
a little too expensive for me...

Guys, if any of you buys it, make sure you post a thorough review with pictures!
Who loves ya, baby?

Too rich for a teacher's blood - and I'm bad enough with the cell as is.  Seriously, I started leaving the cell in the car a while back to set an example for students ... we have two to three daily disciplinary referrals daily from kids caught IM'ing at school.  I then realized the practicallity of having it, plus the safety factor.  You guys have phones in your offices - we are not lucky enough to have them in our rooms

I love my iPod...it's probably my favorite purchase of the last few years.  However, I don't want all that stuff on a phone.  I just want the phone to ring and let me talk.  I'm kind of old school in that way.  I leave mine in the car whenever I can.  Something about carrying it all the time makes me feel like i'm wearing an electronic leash.
