You're just like me:  it's a cellphone, damnit, Jim.  (Ever wonder why the
communicator devices on Star Trek were always voice only?  StarTrek
communicator devices = cell phones.)

As for the 42" LCD TV -- might take a few months longer here but the
net effect is the same:  get real value for your money!

Finally, why would I pay airtime charges for podcasts that I can grab for
free and put on my iPod (or equiv)?
