Spencer,
I don't carry anything but an inexpensive mobile phone with tri-band
GSM for international roaming which should fit in my shirt pocket, so
being small and light is what attracts me. It is for my clients to
contact me, I seldom initiate calls on my mobile. So it seems to me
that the new "congruence" gadgets are configured for concentrated
wastage of time, and they are big and heavy!  YMMV, of course. We all
have our indulgences - I am attracted to pens and watches, but I
understand and accept that it is just that, an indulgence (-:
Cheers
Jayanand
